Hi Stephanie,

"Running a simple search on the internet using the keyword "skinwalker" will generate nearly 20,000 hits. A high portion of these hits are in reference to skinwalker fiction (ie Smallville episode, a comic book and Hillerman's book/movie). "

I'm surprised there's no reference to Robbie Robertson's great song! And, in discussing the song and skinwalkers, my album has a short quote from N. Scott Momaday:

"And all the while he danced to the high, hectic rattle of the drum, virtually in place, his motion translated into pure illusion...sometimes you look at a thing and see only that it is opaque, that it cannot be looked into, and this opacity is its essence, the very truth of the matter. So it was for me with the...mask. The man inside was merely motion and he had no face, and his name was the mask itself. Had I lifted...[it], there should have been on one and nothing to see."
