Winchester Park community members were engaged in an artistic process to explore living in Canada, on Turtle Island, as Indigenous people, settlers, or newcomers in 2017, a milestone year marking the 150th year of the dominion of Canada, and the ongoing legacy and impact of colonialism. This process resulted in the collaborative design, building, installation, and unveiling of a 12 FT in diameter pebble mosaic, infused with the intentions, questions, and stories of community members, which arose as we discussed relationships to land, home, and Indigenous sovereignty.
