Please join the Office of Iniskim Indigenous Relations for the official unveiling of the Iikaisskini Gathering Centre’s new mural, "The Little Bear and Brother Jaguar": A dedication to Iikaisskini (Low Horn), Dr. Leroy Little Bear.
Artist Jesus Eduardo Gonzalez Lopez will speak to the significance of the mural and how it represents Indigenous Peoples and their cultural practices. Through vivid imagery, it celebrates and honours the heritage of the Indigenous Peoples of Blackfoot territory in southern Alberta, Canada and the Mixteca region of Oaxaca, Mexico. The purpose is to create a dialogue between two cultural contexts, simultaneously reshaping the landscape aesthetically through everyday narratives.
We thank Jesus Eduardo Gonzalez Lopez for donating the mural to the University of Lethbridge.
