word "fire". In her artist statement, Malbeuf notes that iskwew, the nehiyawewin word for woman, is derived from iskotew, indicating the sacredness of women's abilities and the unrecognized work that Indigenous women contributed to building this place. The bright turquoise, pink, and yellow of the sculptures were inspired by the beadwork on a Métis fire bag that Malbeuf saw at the Royal Alberta Museum during her research for the project. Malbeuf wanted to use colours that would be striking on the landscape of the green and brown park as well as evoke the vibrancy of Indigenous language and culture. pehonan - Tiffany Shaw-Collinge Tiffany Shaw-Collinge is a Métis artist and architect based in Edmonton. Her work's title, pehonan, means "gathering or waiting place" in Cree, and the installation is an amphitheatre-style meeting place of tiered seating made of different materials. Shaw-Collinge conceptualized each of the four levels of the amphitheatre as a different time in the area's history. The top level of the amphitheatre begins the timeline in the prehistoric era, and Shaw-Collinge used quartzite stones and rocks she gathered from the Bay of Fundy, where her ancestors lived. The second level continues the timeline to the era of fort trading in early Canada, and the wood used to create this level replicates the notched wood corners typical of a Métis log cabin. The third level from the top represents our current era of colonization and threats to Indigenous culture, using weathered steel to construct the seating. The steel, which features a beading pattern from Shaw-Collinge's grandmother's moccasin-making, will rust and decay over time, combining ideas of Indigenous resiliency and the damage created by European colonization. The bottom and fourth level of the amphitheatre represents looking to the future, and Shaw-Collinge used mirrored steel to construct this level both as a reflection for visitors and as a further nod to Indigenous ingenuity using materials to create within their environment. mikikwan - Duane Linklater Duane Linklater is an Omaskêko Cree artist from Moose Cree First Nation in Ontario who specializes in sculpture, installation, and film. Linklater's installation is a large scale reproduction of a bone hide scraper, or mikikwan, that sits on a hillside in the art park. During his research for the project at the Royal Alberta Museum, Linklater looked at thousands of objects in the museum's collection and settled on using a 9,000-year-old buffalo bone hide scraper excavated in
