Mississaugas of the New Credit Mural
Kiinwi Dabaadjmowin, 2015 - Philip Cote, Rebecca Baird, Tracey Anthony. On loan from the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation
These three mural panels are part of a visual depiction of the history of the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation, from creation to present-day. The original mural was painted directly on the walls of the library at the Lloyd S. King Elementary School, in the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation community. It was created collaboratively by Aboriginal artists Philip Cote, Rebecca Baird and Tracey Anthony, with help from aspiring local youth artists.
The panels on display here were originally reproduced to be showcased at the Toronto 2015 Pan Am / Parapan Am Games. As the Host First Nation for the games, the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation used their beautiful murals to showcase their long and storied history to the world.
