This powerful painting by David Kanietakeron Fadden, reflects the pain, fear and sadness native children were forced to endure by U.S. and Canadian government residential schools for decades. As the timeline moves forward, we see the inner strength and color of life, return in the children’s smiling faces as their culture prevails despite the efforts of the foreign governments.

This painting reflects a time of great loss for a man named Aionwatha. Misery and sadness overtook all aspects of his life. Another man, referred to as the Peacemaker, offers condolences through wampum strings. Lifting away the grief and sorrow, wiping away the tears, peace was restored to his life. Together they collaborated a message of peace to all who would listen.
