New life for polygon fish canvas. Ahnishnahbeh Become Maymaygwayshi.

This canvas has been around the block, for a couple/few years and has undergone a couple/few changes. Just previously, I had used the canvas to help illustrate a portion of the Larry Mitchell biography, Potowatomi Tracks, in a previous Bingorage posting.

The current incarnation of the piece is a scene from an alternate future, many, many thousands of years from now, when the Ahnishnahbeh have evolved to live underwater; becoming... the Maymaygwayshi.
