Yesterday, our team arrived in Cumberland House to begin the SK River Delta Project, a collaboration between Cbyf PrinceAlbert, artist Wally Dion, the Mann Art Gallery, Common Weal Community Arts, the Kwecic Museum, and All My Relations Creative Connections with generous support from the Canada Council for the Arts.
Our first stop was iskwêw rapids where the E.B. Campbell Dam is.
Standing between Tobin Lake on one side and the Saskatchewan River Delta on the other, the contrast was impossible to ignore. Concrete and consumption. Beauty and disruption. A reminder that every decision we make upstream echoes across the lands, waters, and communities downstream.
This project is about an Indigenous youth, led by Aaliyah Flett, using art as advocacy to help give voice to the Delta and to share the stories woven into these waters; of the people, the plants, the animals, the birds, and the fish that have lived together in relationship with this place since time immemorial.
