On shared unceded L̓il̓wat7úl and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh territory

Credit(s): lhalqw Bruce Edmonds, Lil’wat Nation

Medium: Yellow Cedar

Year: 2009

Art ID: 101

On these Yellow Cedar doors, the tall bird is a Great Blue Heron, a patient angler. The Grizzly Bear is also an angler, but at any time, the Eagle can swoop down and take the fish for itself. These animals remind us to care for nature and respect all creatures. Also find a Cedar (the tree of life), the mountains, and the sun, the everlasting nurturer of Mother Earth.

This work was inspired by the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, with Lil’wat Nation one of four Host Nations.
