A mural on the garage door of a building in Shaunavon, Saskatchewan. I searched through historical photos of Chiefs who lived in what became Saskatchewan, but I am unsure who this mural depicts. It might be Big Bear, but that is a guess.

During an evening walk around Shaunavon I discovered the town hall, which is located in a park-like setting, one block wide and two blocks long. This lovely brick building expresses the optimism that was widespread in the early years of Saskatchewan's history.
