The Algonquian people, Ojibwe/Chippewa,Ottawa,Potawatomi,Cree, believe that everything has its own spirit or manitou that is inseparable from the Great Spirit or Kitche Manitou.
"What is a sacred place, I wondered, except one that makes you feel humble and insignificant in the face of nature? And what is a manitou but the power of a place to move you to those thoughts?" — Greg Breining; The Power of Rock
Inspired by the Ojibway heritage of his children, Kevin began creating the Manitou pieces many years ago. His interest in all things esoteric has led him to explore shamanism, totemism, mysticism, Taoism, Zen, Sufism, Animism, nature, reality, dreaming, metaphysics, Kevinism as a life path which are all more or less reflected in his work.

Like the Breining quote. Thanks so much Julie. You rock.
The totems are beyond awesome and stunning! Thank You for sharing with us!
Incredible work!
These are fantastic! I'm a Michigan-native Potawatomie myself and I adore Mr. Gadomski's take on such an old tradition.
Any chance he has a kagashi (crow)?
GORGEUS.
