On January 6, I took a photo of the exterior of the First Nations University of Canada. Today, I took a photo of its main assembly area in the center of the building.
This area is often used for student gatherings and special campus events. It features a 2 storey glass 'teepee' at its north end (seen here in the upper left-hand corner). The mosaic on the floor has been laid to look like a Star Blanket quilt. There is a medicine wheel design on the floor as well, just out of the picture frame on the right.
The artistry of the floor's mosaics and the grandeur of the glass teepee embody the majesty of the First Nations culture. I always enjoy walking through this area to get to my classes each week.
