"In his book, 'No More Buffalo', Bob Scriver tells with a fictional story how the Blackfeet described the first horse that they saw. Some said it looked like the elk, being about the same size and color, and others had seen it in distant Indian camps being used to pull the travois - like the dogs that were used by the Blackfeet. So, according to the story, they called them 'Ponokah-Eemetah' in their language, which translates to Elk-Dog in English.- Martin Grelle

" A Crow (Apsaalooke) hunter raises his hand in prayer to the eagle as they pause on their late winter journey through what would become known as Jackson Hole.
The eagle typified courage, quickness, and strength to the Native American, and was prayed to in order to receive those abilities. Perhaps in his vision quest he had received the eagle as his spiritual guide, and he is asking the eagle for help as they travel in search of elk. - Martin Grelle

“Two Crow (Apsaalooke) warriors/hunters are returning to a winter's camp, with two mules they've "acquired" from some unlucky trappers, as well as fresh meat -- packed on the stolen mules and a packhorse, and covered with the fresh robes, which will be fleshed & tanned. Tonight the camp will have fresh-roasted meat, and tales of the hunters' heroics.” - Martin Grelle

“The setting for the painting is a few miles west of the Wind River, and northeast of the Wind River Range of mountains in what is now west-central Wyoming. The time period is early April of 1833. After having been in winter camp for months, two free-trappers have begun the spring harvest on a small stream where they have discovered a beaver lodge. They have begun the task of setting traps, which includes placing dried wooden stakes a few feet from the bank to which the chain of the trap itself is attached. They have removed their coats to keep them dry, but have left their leggings on as protection from the still frigid waters. In their busy-ness, they have let 3 Indians approach to a close distance unnoticed, and must now deal with the circumstances. The Indians are Crow, or Apsaalooka, and chances are it will be a peaceful encounter, followed by a night of keeping watch over their livestock - as the Crow are well-known for their horse-stealing abilities. “A few months later, in July, the annual rendezvous was held on the other side of the mountains at the junction of Green River and Horse Creek. It is said that more than 165 packs of beaver pelts were traded at that rendezvous.” -Martin Grelle

" NEWLYWEDS "

During the fur trade era, centered in the Rocky Mountains of the American West, trappers often took Indian girls for their wives. It was a mutually beneficial arrangement for obvious reasons, and the Indian girls could look forward to receiving many material things from their white husbands that they might not be provided with otherwise; for the man, a loving companion capable of cooking, cleaning & tanning hides, making clothes, keeping camp, etc.
The wedding was a simple affair, usually involving the exchange of a number of items of value by the trapper to the parents of the girl. Items included horses, trinkets such as beads, cloth, & knives, and traditional blankets.
In the painting, the gifts have been accepted by the parents, the girl has been given to the trapper, and the newlyweds are beginning their life together by the traditional wrapping of a blanket (buffalo robes were also used) around them and running to their own lodge or camp.
"Newlyweds" is personal commission.

" CROWS IN THE YELLOWSTONE "

“I've gone through Yellowstone National Park a number of times over the years, and I am always in awe of the beauty of the area. The inspiration for this painting is Lewis Falls, one of the easiest things to see in the park.
Three Crow (Apsaalooke) are crossing below the falls, and the youngest of the party has turned to look above the falls - the question, and actually, the story, is what or who stirred up the birds (which happen to be crows) that are flying above the trees?
Sometimes, like in old movies, the unseen danger lets us imagine much more than the obvious.” - Martin Grelle
