[FONT="]The following is a line from my manuscript, referring to carving a wood block into an animal shape. The character speaking knows more than I do again.
“Native Americans would say I’m freeing the tree spirit trapped when the tree was cut down.”
I need to know whose tradition this fits with best. And then to tweak it to make it accurate and specific to that tradition. If Native Americans don't fit, I'll take anything that does. If it's just wrong, tell me what's right. Thanks for your help.
