2006 Traditional Medicine Calendar
Thank-You for your interest in this unique, and informative indigenous timepiece. The calendar became available November of 2005, and was an imediate success.
Alas, this calendars time has passed. Yet it lives on in all of it's digital glory. Plus I have a few keepsake copies at home. Suzanne took all of the excellent photos and provided all of the information through her research work. I did all of the artwork and graphic design.
