Prayer to the Thunderbirds

From my new Treaty 7 series. Blackfoot takes a moment along a creek to give a prayer to the Thunderbirds. The scene is based on a photo from around 1900 taken by photographer Roland reed. The background map image is based on a historical map from 1891 that was created to record all the reservations across Canada. Combining the historic image with the map creates an historical aspect of interpretation to the viewer of our history captured on canvas.
