White Owl---Black Fish

Featuring Indian Chief

Story 2 16 pages western-frontier
Storyline

Micmac life is shaped by spiritual beliefs. Deaf Nolmi kills a white owl, a sin. Lame Mah-Leet defends him. Nolmi offends another tribe. This means war! Nolmi offers his life for the injury to their chief; he paddles, Mah-leet jumps in the water, Nolmi saves her. Blackfish flee to the shallow of the river where Nolmi drives them ashore. The bandaged Passamaquoddy chief receives them as a gift, and rewards Nolmi with gifts. Peace and love. Nolmi: "For truly the blackfish have brought back my ‘medicine' that the white owl took away."

Story Notes

Artwork credits confirmed by Angelo Todaro by pointing to the face on page 13 first panel as that of Giolitti himself. He did both penciling and inking on all his drawings. The only assistant he used was Giovanni Ticci from 1960, drawing backgrounds, and Giolitti making the people and the inking. Info from interview on Todaro's web site. Script credit source (Gaylord Du Bois's Account Books Sorted by Title, compiled from the original account books by Randall W. Scott) states: "White Owl, Black Fish (synopsis). 10p. For War Eagle, stock. Sent April 9, 1950." and "White Owl, Black Fish. add 6p. For The Chief, stock. Sent October 14, 1950." ~Dave Porta
