Round 4 Story

Completing The Circle…

Round 4 Question

What does Truth and Reconciliation Look Like and Sound Like Now after 10 years of seeking Truth and Reconciliation Images for the Community?

It was clear to the 16 artists continuing that we would need to finish the Circle and complete Round 4…. the Northern Doorway. The Traditional Teachings of the Indigenous First Nations, of what we now call Simcoe County, are inspiring our quest for Truth and Reconciliation. Once again, thank you, Elder McRae for inspiring us to complete the Full Medicine Wheel with Round 4.

Round 4 began on September 7, 2024 with the traditional Sweat Lodge Ceremony, a Feast and the Draw. It is a balance draw that began with an Indigenous artist, followed by non-Indigenous artist etc. It ends with a non -Indigenous artist on June 11, 2025.

The Private Reveal will be on June 14, 2025.

The Public Reveal will be Sept 14, 2025 in the Great Hall of the St. Paul’s United Church at 63 Peter St. N in Orillia, Ontario. It begins at 10:30. Each Artist will publicly reveal their image for the community and tell their story in the order of the Draw. All are invited to attend. It is Free.

The Images will then be installed in the Ogimaa Miskwaaki Gallery For Truth And Reconciliation in Simcoe County.
