Join us for an artist talk and mural presentation with Philip Cote, moderated by Derek Sands!!

We are pleased to present the Ted Rogers School's newest artwork Indigenous History of the Land, painted by Philip Cote, located on the landing beneath the 7th floor.

This event aims to increase awareness and understanding of the mural's visual acknowledgment that we are within the Toronto Purchase Treaty No.13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and that we are located on the traditional lands of the Ojibway, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, the Haudenosaunee, and the Huron Wendat peoples.

The artwork includes the following visual representations: snapping turtle for Turtle Island, fish depicting the intellect of Indigenous communities, thirteen moon calendar, and the Tadadaho belt for the great peace between five nations. The thunderbird represents the three fires confederacy, the canoe with animal silhouettes represents the Wendat Neutral Petun peoples, the Inuksuk with blue star represents the Inuit people, and the infinity symbol represents Métis people. The moccasin (Nation: Anishinaabe) serves as a visual acknowledgement that we are within Treaty No. 13 territory and the traditional lands of the Ojibway, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, the Haudenosaunee and the Huron Wendat peoples. This painting was created in partnership with Moccasin Identifier to acknowledge the Indigenous land the Ted Rogers School of Management stands on.
