Adeline Thomas (Haché) born in Petit Rocher N.B., married a Mi’kmaq, Tim Thomas of Lennox Island P.E.I., and gave birth to two children Jason and Treva, with very strong native roots. In order to offer them a better understanding of their Acadian and Native heritage, an exploration of these two cultures began at a very young age. This venture of over thirty years initiated, like by magic, these fascinating little people and their legends.

Last year, her daughter Treva send her, such a little sculpture for her birthday, from Australia, where she live, and challenged her to do some. The venture started in February 2003, and at present, 79 of these little creatures have come magically alive. Like a volcano erupting, these little folks comes out of silence, space and solitude. Being one of a kind, collectibles, they find homes quite easily. At this time, 16 remains to find adoptive parents, as new ones are born.

The faces, hands and feet are sculpted out of clay, the hair comes from natural products, sheep wool, mohair and cultivated silk, while the rest of the body is confectioner from wired structure and recycle materials.

The sculpture, when completed, is sat on the top to the computer and is asked to tell its story.  The same magic at play when the facial expression is born, this sense of meeting the unknown, seems to be accomplice in the creation of their legend.

In all races and cultures are found wise folks, in everyday encounters that somehow seem to have gone beyond the sorrow, the pain, the self-centered activities of human existence, and have stumbled on something “immeasurable”. This “thing” has been labeled “love”, “compassion”, “truth”…

We have attributed this capacity for insights to people close to nature: the natives elders of different countries, the roaming gypsies, the secluded eastern monks, the elder clairvoyants…Long ago the alchemist, the apothecary were the ones daring to explore the “unknown”. And because of their innocence we often look for clarity through the eyes of a child.

In our every day living, when we take the time to listen attentively, we can encounter such people, who have in their own way, come across this quality of perception.

This humble venture, this roaming through the world of the Wise and the Unknown, is an invitation to explore together, the art of listening, the art of seeing, and the greatest art of all, the art of living.

tradition and culture passed down to him by his Lakota (Sioux) Elders, in each piece of art he brings to life.

He will explain the truth and significance of culture, history and tradition, so don't count on plastic beads,
multicolored feathers and other non-Indian like articles, found on souvenirs. What you can count on is museum quality art.
