Tkaranto Past, Tkaranto Future
MR Circle: Philip Cote Completed: 2017This mural by Indigenous artists Odinamaad, Chief Lady Bird, Dave Monday Oguorie, and Philip Cote, tells the story about Tkaranto being a meeting place for all people: first, for Indigenous nations for travel, trade, hunting and fishing, and in present day, for people who come here from around the globe to gather on the traditional territories of those who first occupied the land.
The artists portray and share many of their traditional activities and stories, while giving a voice to Indigenous peoples, and a prayer toward the next generation of youth – the enduring strong Indigenous presence here in Tkaranto.
The mural was a project of the Riverside BIA as part of the 2017 Canada 150 and Ontario 150 celebration initiatives with funding support from the Government of Canada, Ontario Government, and City of Toronto.
