| Passionately interested and informed about Native American wildlife and environmental subjects, Judy explains, "The word 'kinship' encompasses several meanings. It can describe the male and female unit in a Native American tribe, or the alpha relationship of the male and female in a wolf pack. Kinship also denotes closeness and warm rapport. Here a male wolf leads his pack through the forest, his mate (nearest the viewer) taking an active part by his side. In Native American society, women's roles were similarly vital. Their contributions to the tribe - including craftsmaking, gathering and preparing food and giving birth - were highly revered. In the female wolf's coat (left of her shoulder), you'll find the face of a Native American woman, and on the male wolf's neck, a man. Together they symbolize the essential male and female unit. The flank of the female wolf bears a Native American man's face to represent the rest of the tribe. I've grouped the wolves closely to emphasize the necessity of tribal and pack members - male and female - to work together to ensure survival." |
