"Tools for Survival"

by Stephen H. Dean

This work is presented not only in applications for the skillfully crafted “Tool’s of survival ” but for those who lived to make them and made them to live.

Dedicated to Isaac Kulowiyi and his wife Sherry who spent their life retrieving their ancestor’s tools of survival from the mineral overburden left by time since they last touched a human hand.
