Qu’Appelle Valley buffalo effigy brings Indigenous art, youth and conservation together.
REGINA – A new outdoor art installation on a Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) property in the Qu’Appelle Valley celebrates Indigenous connections to the land by reviving the tradition of buffalo effigies.
Led by Indigenous artist and storyteller Carol Rose GoldenEagle, the installation took shape on June 10, with the support of Grade 7 and 8 students from South Shore School in Regina Beach. The effigy, a stone formation in the shape of a buffalo, is now visible from Highway 54, west of Lumsden Beach Camp, on NCC’s Colvin property, approximately 50 kilometres northwest of Regina.
