Introducing the Lestock SK Encaustic Totem 6×51 inches from the Unearthed Series on reclaimed wood : a poignant testament to the lost children of the Canadian residential school system. Standing at 6×52 inches on gallery panel wood, this totem weaves a narrative of remembrance and resilience.

Bundles wrapped in bright orange papers, encased in encaustic medium, symbolize the children found in mass graves across Canada, representing those who never made it home.

With an earthy and organic essence, this totem resonates with texture, evoking the raw emotions of a history marked by adversity.

The Muscowequan Indian Residential School, located on the lands of the Muskowekwan First Nation and in Lestock, Saskatchewan, operated from 1889 to 1997. Remarkably, as of 2021, the school building stands as the last-standing residential school in Saskatchewan.

Experience the profound narrative etched into every fiber of this totem, honoring the past while igniting a flame of hope for the future, also showcasing the resilience of Indigenous communities.
