An interesting memorial to murder victims
I was driving home from work with my plumbing apprentice and saw this building. My apprentice mentioned that there were 7 people murdered in this building.He also mentioned that the 7 wood carvings in front of the building that were made as a memorial to those victims. Each carving has a spiritual meaning to the indeginous community. So, I looked them up and this is what I found out;
The dear symbolizes gentleness, grace and survival.
The sturgeon symbolizes vitality and long life.
The eagle symbolizes devine spirit, creation and freedom.
The bear symbolizes courage, physical strength and leadership.
The beaver symbolizes determination and strong will.
The wolf symbolizes direction and leadership, it embodies both protection and destruction.
The prairie dog symbolizes swiftness and preparedness.
It is quiet an interesting story about a building I probably pass by about 40 times a year. Catch you later and stay cool steemers.
Great story I will have to check it out !
