In Cahoots

Click to bid – 6x6 Acrylic on Hardboard Panel

I didn't come up with the title for this one until I sat with it for a while. As I heard the story,  the root word 'cahute', is French for a small cabin or hut. The phrase was originally referring to multiple French-Canadian trappers living together in the same small space. By habitating in such close quarters they would of necessity have to be of like mind, hence the term: In cahoots.  You can almost hear the Canadian inflection when you say the words! Ya sure, in cahoots those.
