Editor's note: the images shown represent two states that DeArmond created; some differences include their background color and added feather detail to the owls' left and right side of its body.
A picture of Dale with its original woodblocks and an example of this print (shown above) appeared in a Fairbanks Daily News-Miner article in 1970, where she was teaching a printmaking class. Based on its date (five years after the regular edition), she likely created the first state around that time.
