Now, Lavallee and other Indigenous artists are re-imagining what could sit in front of Manitoba s legislature building.
Métis artist Val Vint said an idea came to her in a dream, as she was trying to work through the pain of hearing about the hundreds of unmarked graves found on the sites of Canada s former residential schools. Usually I ll put tobacco down and pray in times like that because you need something to get through. And all my best things come in my dreams, Vint said. I woke up in the morning and I could see what I wanted there. I can t really say everything about it, but I have a piece in my head developed for that legislative site that would represent all our peoples.
