Description
EN CHA GHANA (HE TOO LIVES) CANOE - Made by Robert Frederick (canoe) and Jennifer Pighin (tile mosaic).
Tiles were done in 2011, and the canoe was placed several months later in 2012. The canoe is 16' long and the mosaic is 25' long.
The name means "showing respect" in Carrier. The sculpture was sponsored in part by the Lheidli T'enneh band. The canoe is cared with images recounting First Nations legend.
A fiberglass casting replica was made of a traditional dugout canoe made from a cottonwood tree. The mosaic tile shows 11 life size local fish.
