"Education is the New Bison / Chi-kishkayhitamihk Si Te Li Neu Biizon" by Val T. Vint
The 12-foot sculpture in the shape of a bison is constructed out of 200 steel replicas of books and films by Indigenous authors and allies. In Indigenous cultures, bison once provided everything. Now, we look to education to provide. Unless we understand our history, we can’t understand the problems in society.
Education is the New Bison is the first piece in a series of three artworks commissioned by The Winnipeg Foundation for The Forks.
