Location: Humber Polytechnic Lakeshore Campus - L Building Quad Exit
we all stand tall along the horizon
just like the fish fence in the narrows
flowing rivers guide us to an elder, alder tree
and as the earth holds us
we protect minoomin | wild rice and all beings
we grow our seeds into gifts full of life and colour
