Picture of the Seven Grandfather Teachings carving
2021

A wood carving showcasing the Seven Grandfather Teachings guiding principles was unveiled in the Legislative Chamber in November, 2021. These teachings have been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years through ceremonies and stories. Placed above the interior Chamber entrance, the carving embodies animals representing Love, Wisdom, Truth, Humility, Respect, Courage and Honesty. This piece was created by Indigenous artist Garrett Nahdee who is from the Walpole Island First Nation in southwestern Ontario.
