Public Art Installation:

Nitâniskotâpân
by Marissa Magneson
City Hall Courtyard

Brought to you by
Ontario Power Generation

Nitâniskotâpân draws on the Métis tradition of floral beadwork as a form of storytelling, using layered colour and symbolism to explore intergenerational connection.
Anchored by a central flower representing the artist, the composition traces relationships across generations, from grandparents and great-grandparents to cousins, chosen family, and descendants yet to come.
The work reflects how knowledge, language, cultural practices, and ways of seeing the world are passed on, transformed, or lost over time. Its Cree title, meaning both “my great-great-grandparent” and “my great-great-grandchild,” honours the deep responsibility we share to remember our ancestors and create a meaningful legacy for future generations.
