Well-Being
10 x 8"
Mixed Media on Board
Paining #279 - The CBE Indigenous Education Team gathered electronically to create this visual of what Indigenous Well-Being looks like to each of us. I depicted four traditional medicines: rosehips, prairie sage, sweetgrass and wolf willow. The visual of the roots, sprout and full bloom of each plant reminds us of the cycle of life. Each seed must be nurtured to reach full maturity and share its gifts. A sweetgrass braid is wrapped around to symbolize protection.

Our team is sharing this with schools, students, families and the greater community and invite you to do the same. It will also serve as a foundational touchstone for our renewed CBE Indigenous Education Strategy.
