About this work

La Morena and bb iskwew chose to collaborate on a mural that celebrates the power of life givers. This team is a north meets south collaboration honoring matriarchy and womanhood. This mural is located on Treaty 7 territory, and to celebrate the beauty and power of matriarchs from Treaty 7 nations they included a portrait of Alanna Bluebird, who is a Tsuut’ina (Dene) and Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) woman. This mural is located close to Mohkinstsis, where the Elbow River meets the Bow River which is a place that was traditionally a site where Blackfoot peoples would gather and pick medicines along the bow river. Our intention is to create a mural that honors the matriarchal connection to the land in this specific area as well as across all turtle island.
