Joely BigEagle-Kequahtooway stands on Dewdney Avenue in Regina, Saskatchewan on June 24, 2021. Behind her, a piece of her art hangs on a light post one of a number that can be seen along the avenue. The art is part of what s called the Buffalo Banner Project, which included BigEagle-Kequahtooway providing workshops focused on sharing Indigenous knowledge and historical education on the buffalo, and the impacts of colonization on Plains Indigenous people.

The effort seeks to bring attention to the proposed renaming of Dewdney Avenue. Photo by BRANDON HARDER /Regina Leader-Post ....
