About this work

One of the most memorable experiences I’ve had in Calgary was seeing the northern lights dancing over the city skyline from the Crescent Heights ridge. Northern lights, to the Nêhiyawak, represent our ancestors dancing in the sky. The beautiful Bow River runs through this piece as well.

Features Cree syllabics for ᓯᐱᐩ “sipiy” (river).
