AKA: Owl on the Portage was Sitting
Hand pulled by the artist from the original endgrain maple blocks on an Ettan etching press at Sitka, Alaska, May, 1992.
An Athabascan folk tale about a singularly stupid owl who tried three times to catch a mouse which was running along a portage. When he finally caught the mouse he decided that it was too much to eat all by himself so he set out to find someone to help him eat the mouse. He flew and he flew and he flew but he didn't find anyone and by the time he returned the mouse was all dried up.
