This series of paintings is inspired by the quiet spaces where Elders and Youngers sit together. They learn so much from each other through observation and careful contemplation.

It is my hope to have as many of these moments as humanly possible as both.

Ta'wow/Welcome Directory

Indigenous Edmonton is a dynamic, vibrant, and an energetic community. It is young, entrepreneurial, educated, culturally active, artistic, and caring. It is the home of the second largest urban Aboriginal population in Canada, and lies in the heart of Treaty No. 6 territory.

The "Indigenous community" is not one community, but "many communities", and is, therefore, a reflection of the diverse and multifaceted Aboriginal population that makes Edmonton their home. The Indigenous peoples in Edmonton have roots that are deeply sown and well-traveled through-out the whole of the City and extend from the past, through to the present, and will continue well into the future.

The City of Edmonton has built upon the work initiated by the Edmonton Aboriginal Urban Affairs Committee to collaboratively reproduce, with communities, this directory with the intent to help you navigate the diverse and friendly Edmonton. We hope you find it useful. Your feedback and suggestions are welcomed.
