These two pieces of art are inspired by Norval Morrisseau a Woodlands Ojibway artist and the first aboriginal artist to interpret his peoples legends in painting.

They are cut from discarded discers found in the ravines in Herschel Saskatchewan.

This region is of particular interest to indigenous people because the land has remained virtually untouched. Aboriginal peoples and bison have been coming to the Coal Mine Ravine for over 5000 years. In 1996 a bison processing site was excavated to a depth of just over two meters revealing layer upon layer of bison bones, crushed bone, fire pits, and artifacts. The deepest artifacts were radio-carbon dated at approximately 2000 years.
