City of Calgary Moh’kins’tsis Project
"From the natural foliage to the tribes that settled these mountainous regions, the image of the past shows the buffalo grass that brought the promise of buffalo and prosperity. The people coming together demonstrate a strong sense of community, sharing the tales of their ancestors to learn and grow.
The eagle represents protection and guidance from the animal spirits with whom we coexisted."
"The chicken dancer in the center represents the spirit of the land being kept alive through the sharing of our culture and the challenges that were overcome to continue the traditions of our proud people."
"The image of the future shows our traditions and culture being reignited and proudly embraced by all people, while maintaining our connection to the wise and protective eagle guides."
