Private Collection Not for Sale Roots and Horizons: Indigenous Alberta honours the resilience, cultural heritage, and continuing achievements of Indigenous Peoples in Alberta. At the centre, an Indigenous woman stands with dignity, holding a feather as a symbol of spiritual strength and a young tree representing growth, renewal, and hope.
Around her, the landscape brings tradition and progress together: tipis, horses, buffalo, rivers, mountains, education, healthcare, agriculture, energy, and new technologies. Eagles soaring beneath the rising sun suggest freedom, vision, and a promising future.
This artwork celebrates a future in which advancement does not require leaving one’s identity behind. Its message is one of respect, recognition, and hope—a future firmly rooted in culture, community, and the land.
