"Denbigh, the Small People" "5000 years ago lived the Denbigh villagers, high in the Arctic and were less than a meter in height. They were artists in stone and made the most beautiful tools to hunt with. They were not easily seen or found by any other tribe of the north but were respected for their magic and tundra knowledge. To this day scientist marvel at their blades and artistic perfection, yet deny their existence as the smallest tribes.

"Spirit Bear, Spirit Man" "Legend has it, the Inuit god, Yupik, enjoyed setting up his villagers on numerous occasions, (such as this sculpture depicts), as he transforms himself, along with others, to play torment only to bring good news of a hunt...in progress." "Yupik retired to the farthest north when Russian traders appeared in the early 19th century, he remains there, one can hear his roars rippling off the shores of Wrangle Island."

"Bo Earls, blade of chert attached to my handle of ancient Woolly Mammoth Bone. This is an example of prehistoric Inuit typology of the Thule period of 1200 years. I have many actual artifact knifes in my collection to utilize as reference in order to construct authentic motifs of ancient 'style' work."
"Bo Earls, ( world class flint-knapper ) from Utah, America, produced the blade of chert, I then attached a handle of ancient 'Caribou Jawbone' of which I discovered while beach combing the Bering Sea region of Alaska." "Occasionally I produce reproductions for museums and private collectors. I utilize modern blades produced by artists, as with the blades discovered from ancient discoveries, all produced from stones of various types."
