i now have 5 working whistles and all thanx to the musician kelly from mandan one of the experts on the mandans and their meticulous workmanship and fine artifacts
they musta been some tough and smart people to grow the large gardens of corn beans and squash so they cache away food which was enuff for 2 years in advance and also enuff to be able to trade with the network of sites along the missouri river in the dakotas



yup yeppers i feel just lucky to own that frame

hey hey folks i wanted to give him a whistle as a token of thanks but he was just glad to help....a true long time friend.....
......i mean it.......i have spoken

Epic post. Always remembered. Rest in peace.
