“The artwork reflects the disconnect between what was promised during treaty negotiations and what was delivered,” the release said. 

Jennifer Fitzpatrick, director of cultural services, said, “The Original Humboldt Treaty Sculpture creates an opportunity for education, reflection, and dialogue, and we’re proud to see this collaborative project recognized at the provincial level.” 

She added that they hope visitors take the time to experience the sculpture and learn about the history that it reflects. 

In the news release, the City congratulated the Humboldt Museum Board of Directors and staff, the Original Humboldt Committee, and Deis, Halfe, Neapetung, and Kewistep, and thanked Horizon School Division for their support.
