The Famous Stony Plain Murals

The First People

The First People 246

The town of Stony Plain is situated on a large fertile tract of land once called Eskatina of the Stoney Plains, a name derived from the Nakota Sioux First Peoples. Tipi entrances face east to greet the rising sun and the sacred bald eagle soars above as a symbolic messenger closest to the Creator, giving strength and freedom to The Peoples. Wildlife is featured as a sustaining resource and the colours with symbolic meaning are reflected on the side: red (Honesty), green (Mother Earth), white (Wisdom), yellow (The Sun), blue (Faith), black (Power). “Welcome to Stony Plain” is written in Cree syllabics.
