Animal Parade | Reciprocity Mural | Seneca Students

The Animal Parade is conceptualized and materialized differently from the other aspects of the mural. The animals that serve as beacons are shown together in this tableau without the intervention of humans. Their habitat shows the Canadian Shield. The water source alongside the Thunderbird petroglyph denotes the origins of the water and regional flora fills in the spaces between the rocks.  The Parade is created as a two-layer relief where the animals are accentuated on the top layer.  This section introduces the importance of the animals' guidance to the mural and to the origins of reciprocity.
