To help mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, St. Francis High School unveiled a 15-foot Indigenous art piece on Friday.
Rick Wolcott, the Indigenous artist who made the totem art piece, had three sons go to the northwest Calgary school."We feel sort of a kinship with the school," Wolcott said."I have been looking at it on the flat, mostly.
I was really impressed when I saw it actually hanging up," he said."At the top of the totem, the three bears, that's inclusion. They're a team. They are working together," he said.It was attended by approximately 175 students.
