Mikisew

This mural by Peatr Thomas (@thunderbird4311) is located in The Hub.

From the Halifax Self-Guided Downtown Art Tour:
“Peatr is an Ininew/Anishinaabe artist. The mural “Mikisew” – meaning “eagle” in the Ininew language – is made up of the Ininew syllabics ‘sah’ ‘kih’ ‘tah’, which make the Ininew word for “love.” The syllabics are overlayed with the silhouette of an eagle, which is part of the 7 Sacred Grandfather Teachings and represents love.”

This mural was funded by the Downtown Halifax Business Commission’s Gritty to Pretty program.
