Frank Salcido an Apaphoe is a very knowledgeable man in the story and lore of his people.

Frank is also a talented individual who paints teepees, robes and blesses them in the sacred ways by chanting and dancing and praying.

These Rituals are very imp. to the Indian and Frank carries this Philosophy with him

 He works as a tour guide for the Museum at Colico Bay in Yellow stone Ntl. Park.

This intimate portrait of an Apaphoe is just that.

True to detail and sensitivity that I hope to portray the American Indian today.

To my friend Frank Salcido I dedicate this painting.

1985 July M. C. Poulsen'
