The city of Winnipeg unveiled a new mural this week as part of the city’s commitment to diversity and anti-racism. Rolling River First Nation’s Jeannie White Bird is one of the artists on the project.
“The traditional name that was gifted the mural that’s at city hall in Winnipeg, it was given the traditional name by Elder Marcel McKay, from Rolling River First Nation. And that name is Gakina Gidinawemaaganidim (we are all related). That translation was given by Elder Roger Roulette in Winnipeg,” White Bird said.
The work was a collaboration with mural artist Charles Johnston and assistant Ellen Hart. It features symbols like stars, feathers and water. When people come and visit the mural, White Bird wants them to feel its spirituality.
