Survival Harvesting (Past)

Roland Rollinmud

Survival Harvesting depicts a history of First Nations in Canada, particularly the Stoney Nation, truly as the stewards of the Land.

About this work

Survival Harvesting depicts a history of First Nations in Canada, particularly the Stoney Nation, truly as the stewards of the Land. By portraying the traditional hunting methods, berry harvesting, and traditional ceremonies practiced by the Bearspaw, Chiniki and Wesley Nations, this work illustrates methods of self-sufficiency still used to this day. The imagery within the mural exemplifies the resourcefulness to take care of oneself and one's family.

Rollinmud depicts the 200-year gap between First Contact and the present day, by not only showing how things have changed, but also how life was much simpler when camps shared space with members of diverse tribes and nations. This knowledge has been passed down to Rollinmud from growing up in community with his parents, extended family members, and ancestors.
