Indigenous Art in Mohkinstsis and Beyond
(MOH-kin-stiss is the Blackfoot word for Elbow and was the word used for the area we commonly know as Calgary)
CIFRS presents Indigenous artwork throughout the City of Calgary and around Alberta
These exhibits have been created in the spirit of ReconciliACTION. It is our wish to support and encourage Indigenous artists to share their works, tell their stories and to bring healing and beauty to the hearts of all that call Mohkinstsis home.
