Benibana is the yellow petals of the safflower blossom that when fermented turns red and compressed into cakes, which are used to dye products in a range from yellow to red, depending on the treatment of the cake.

In 1998, Bartow told this Crow Story
"This drawing depicts the pan-Northwest Native myth of crow and the sun box. The tale is often called Yealth, which is the Tlingit word for crow or raven. In Crow Story, a powerful chief keeps the sun in a box. Crow tries many ways to trick the chief into releasing the sun, and there are several variations explaining how the sun is freed eventually. Beside crow is a sun mask, which resembles a mask made by Lillian Pitt—a close friend and artist, member of the Warm Springs tribe."
In 2006, Bartow spoke about the crow walking:
"A pow-wow dancer-all bustle and proud-crow-hops the dusty circle dance.  Falsetto voices chanting - as drum sticks unite - in a thunderous crescendo - of mother’s great heart beat!  Sacred fool, keep away from our daughters and get your sticky fingers out of that pick-nick basket!"
