Libraries are a source of knowledge that bridges cultures and generations through the written word, stories, and entertainment. This piece depicts yellow hands, representing men and women helpers at ceremonies, feasts, and events who have received some form of mentorship by knowledge keepers and Elders. This piece represents one of the ways knowledge and culture have traditionally been shared between generations. Meguinis’ piece blends modern with tradition using ledger-style, pictographic hide art combined with a nod to anime illustration styles and bright colours. Every colour and image chosen is symbolic and holds deep meaning, significance, and reverence. About the Artist Nathan Patrick Meguinis is a Tsuut’ina artist, muralist, illustrator, pow wow dancer, husband, and father to four beautiful children. His artistic style is a mix of abstraction and realism that tells stories, historical events, philosophies, and cultural teachings about his Tsuut’ina (Dene Nation) way of life in Treaty 7. All of his works incorporate Yellow Hands knowledge and symbolic ceremonial colours . Nathan has created numerous murals and projects across s outhern Alberta, including at the cSPACE building , the Luna Centre (formerly the Calgary and Area Child Advocacy Centre) , the Calgary Zoo, in d owntown Drumheller, and now at Village Square Library.
