MURAL INFO:
Where the People Are Welcome, led by Marissa Nahanee (Squamish & Nisga’a) with Jerry Whitehead (Cree), will be painted on the west wall of the Longhouse.
Past and Presence, led by artists Corey Bulpitt (Haida), Sharifah Marsden (Anishinaabe) and Jerry Whitehead (Cree), wil be painted on the east wall of the Tsimilano Building, an administrative building located next door to the Longhouse.
Both murals recognize the history of this educational institution and its location on unceded Coast Salish territories. The school is a meeting place where many First Nations, Inuit and Métis as well as settler and immigrant students come together for sharing and learning that is grounded in Indigenous cultural knowledges. We honour the land that we call home, the people who have lived here for generations and this rich diversity of contemporary Indigenous existence in Vancouver and the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood.
Open to the public. Drinking water will be provided.
