“[This] was a jackrabbit sculpture to be marketed as a garden statue, a prototype of which you see here. Indeed, this very ‘Mr. Jack’ (or ‘Jackie’), can be seen in various locations outside the Sun House in a number of photographs from the Museum's collections.”

"The jack rabbit - like every other animal and bird - retains the reputation he established in the beginning. His little white tail is the continual reminder of service and brotherhood.

Long ago the Indians had no fire. They heard of another people far in the East who had fire and pondered long on how to get it. Finally they selected the rabbit because of his fleetness and diplomacy and the gopher for his fine presence and musical skill, to undertake the expedition.

They had a long and eventful journey being always directed farther East, till they reached a big sha-ne housel in the center of which the great fire burned. Rabbit and Gopher were kindly received and after supper Gopher played his flute so sweetly he charmed his hosts to sleep. Then Rabbit and Gopher stole the fire and ran away. When the sha-ne grew cold the people awoke and realizing what had happened started in pursuit.

When Rabbit and Gopher heard the people coming they were greatly alarmed. The Gopher hid a coal in either end of his flute - the Rabbit hid a coal under his little tail and convinced the pursuers they were innocent. They got the fire safely home and the Pomas Northern Pomo peoples] have enjoyed it ever since. In grateful remembrance they burn either end of their flutes and never forget to respect the tuft of hair turned white by the burn on the underside of the rabbit's tail."
