Hi. The Eric Schweig controversey baffles the bejongus out of me, and my first question may raise some hackles, but.....Thinking back to the accusations from the Indian Arts Council or some such agency , is Eric ever harassed for marketing his masks through a non-Indian organization?
My second question is: does anyone know of an indigenous group called Copacco or Kopako (or a similar spelling) that lived in what is now New England? I heard that name when I first moved to Connecticut, and I could swear there is a brief reference to it in the movie "Squanto," but I can't find any information. Any help out there?
