The PAINTING
“The moose is on everyone’s lips in our region in the fall…like the Film Festival!!!!
According to an Anishnabe Seven Grandfathers legend, the moose is a symbol of respect, as is the buffalo in the western part of the country. This animal respects its environment and earned the respect of ancestors by its ability to feed a whole clan and provide tools and all kinds of useful objects, because all of it was used.”
― Frank Polson
