Māmowimīwēyitamōwin Park
the buffalo are not here on this land as they used to be in the millions, they are still in our
hearts, our memories, our stories, songs and dances. Walk the
outline of the Buffalo Effigy to feel that energy and spirit of the buffalo returning. Walking it will activate the effigy and the call for the buffalo to return to
this land. There are bird houses in the trees and snags near the buffalo willows. These represent
the bird garden for this park. Where there are buffaloes there are always buffalo birds. We are
honouring those connections to the land and species that have been reliant on the buffalo for
millennia. Thank you to Joel Mowchenko of the Treaty Land Sharing Network for his support and in
providing the boulders for this project. The Flower of Life Brianne LaPlante (in Partnership with
Buckets & Borders for “The Yard” Basketball Court restoration), 2022 In 2022 Buckets &
Borders worked with Brianna LaPlant to create the mural on the basketball court within
Māmowimīwēyitamōwin Park. Brianne is a fine artist from Fishing Lake First Nation and grew up in
Regina playing basketball in North Central at the Regent Park courts. Her work is predominantly
within the two-dimensional realm, bringing spaces to life through the choices of line, colour,
pattern, and symbolism. Artwork is an act of lifelong learning and resilience for her as an
Anishinaabe/Nehiyaw/Metis creator. The Flower of Life represents the cycle of creation and the many
paths we cross within our individual spheres as a community. Buffalo Futurism Experience
