About this work

The Banff Trail Community Association invited artist Irvin Tom Manyguns to create an outdoor sculpture meant to deepen connections with the Siksika Nation and celebrate Blackfoot culture. Manyguns created four feathers, painted in the colours of the medicine wheel and engraved with animals sacred to the Blackfoot: the wolf, the buffalo, the eagle and the bear. Banff Trail Community Association combined its annual Harvest Festival with an art reveal to celebrate this piece with a feast, drumming and dancing.
