“Mitakuye Oyasin”, a vibrant mural that stands tall on the Bde Maka Ska Pavilion, invites you to embrace the rich tapestry of Native culture in Minneapolis. The mural, a remarkable creation by artists Summer Sky Cohen, Racquel Banaszak, and Jearica Fountain, is a testament to the beauty and resilience of Native people. As you stand before this masterpiece, you’ll notice a mesmerizing blend of traditional Native symbolism and glimpses of contemporary life in the city. From Native figures gracefully navigating the lake in canoes to a man riding a lime-green bike in traditional regalia, the mural tells a story of continuity and adaptation. The goldenfinch, a symbolic keeper of the Ojibwe language, watches over the scene, reminding us of the enduring legacy of Native languages and traditions. The mural, created as part of the “We Are Still Here” program, serves as a powerful reminder of the Native community’s presence and contribution to the city’s vibrant tapestry.
