Did you know #1?

Even the Northwest Coast Sun Mask on my wall knows that in these perilous times (in my part of the world, at least), masks are important for everyone.

Sun Mask knows that he isn’t safe unless everyone wears a mask, so he’s urging Ancestor Mask to wear one too . . . so far without success.

Shame on you, Ancestor Mask!
