Media Advisory: Provincial Government to Honour Indigenous Culture with Unveiling of Miawpukek First Nation Artwork
March 13, 2025
The Honourable Dr. Andrew Furey, Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, along with the Honourable Dr. Scott Reid, Minister Responsible for Indigenous Affairs and Reconciliation and representatives of Miawpukek First Nation will gather to unveil artwork in the East Block Lobby of Confederation Building tomorrow, March 14.
The event will begin at 11:00 a.m. and will showcase the original work of artist Brittany Wiseman.
The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador worked closely with Indigenous Governments and Organizations (IGOs) to procure six pieces of Indigenous artwork – one for each of the five IGOs and a sixth to honour the culture of the Beothuk.
The IGOs were invited to develop their own process for selecting an artist and procuring the artwork.
