RE: For a change: About Me, Myself and I - the artist behind the art
Thank you for your thoughts.
I put a short essay together on my website, dealing with "The Circle of the Sun" that talks also a bit about my background and connection to the Natives:

About films of Fist Nation Natives: this full contemporary movie on YouTube is about Natives on the other end of Canada, but it is similar as it is in the West where I lived:
A Wikipedia article about the movie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dance_Me_Outside
A romantic movie about Natives is "A Man Called Horse": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Man_Called_Horse_(film)

also to recommend: "Little Big Man": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Big_Man

Much of the location where Little Big Man was filmed is roughly from the area where I lived.
The Indian Chief Dan George https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_Dan_George (playing "grandfather") was actually a famous actor from the Pacific North-West, their traditions and costumes are different from the Plains Indians.
A little bit of background for Indigenous Peoples of Canada: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigenous_peoples_in_Canada
Try this for a map of tribes as they existed before Europeans came to North America:

Vielen lieben Dank dafür. Das ist eine schöne Fundgrube, die du mir dort bereitet hast. Ich werde mich zur gegebenen Zeit damit befassen und es ganz in Ruhe anschauen. Meine Liste wächst. :)
Würdest du sagen, dass dich diese Kultur auch in deiner Kunst geprägt hat? Mich deucht es so.
Thank you very much for that. That's a beautiful treasure trove you've prepared for me there. I will deal with it in due course and look at it calmly. My list grows. :)
Would you say that this culture has also shaped your art? It appears to me it has.
In gewisser Hinsicht hat es mich beeinflusst - jedoch auf einer spirituellen Ebene.
