Hommage sur des perles de maïs

A red hand with a very colourful face at its centre is drawing a woman and a man dancing. At the right side of the drawing, a few elements typical of Canada's First Nations surround the central figures: waves representing the two oceans, a sun-turtle rising in the east, a white buffalo running, a hare smoking a pipe, a wolf mask in the Western First Nations style, a sun with double curve motifs. At the left we can see an eagle taking flight, a West Coast style whale and a hare taken from a petroglyph. This illustration won the national prize in the First Nations section of the Indian Affairs and Northern Development competition.
