Saa Taak / Se Tak (2024) The sun has provided for us since time immemorial and we, as Upper Tanana and Northern Tutchone Peoples have a long history of representing the sun in our art and storytelling. In our languages we say "saa" and "se" to refer to the sun. The sun is an important symbol in our cultures and we have stories of the Sky World, Stars, Moon, and the Sun. Motifs of the sun have been passed down through generations in our clothing, dance regalia, drums, carvings, and beadwork. 📸 by Janet Vander Meer . . . . #publicart #yukon #solarenergy #sun #whiteriverfirstnation
