"We like children. We talk to them quietly and tell them what to do, but we do not scold. When our children are running about...we let them run. If they break something, then that thing is just broken. We do not say anything. We like them to be happy." Papago Indian woman
Holding her infant in a close embrace, this native mother raises her head in a gesture of blissful thanksgiving. She regards him as a sacred gift from the spirits.
She believes that children are close to the spirit world and must be treated gently. She feels as do most Native Americans, that if a child is mistreated, he might die. So she will discipline him quietly and will never spank him.
Cheyenne Indians, for example, seldom punish their children. They excuse errors on the grounds that children do not vet know what is expected of them. They believe that what a child learns in the first 12 years determines whether its life will be difficult or easy.
Artist Lee Bogle conveys this gentle attitude perfectly in his richly emotional fifth plate for your beautiful Sacred Bond collection.
The creation of the fine collector's plate you have just acquired and whose authenticity is certified by this document is the result of work by an international cadre of skilled artisans. After the plate art was created in the United States, a fine ceramic transfer, incorporating pigments carefully chosen to faithfully re-create the vibrant beauty of the artist's original, was created in France and Germany and permanently fired into the fine Japanese porcelain plate body at more than 1,460° Fahrenheit by talented craftsmen and craftswomen in the United States.
