The title of this First Nations inspired mural means “Toronto Past/Toronto Future”
This mural wraps around an old hotel, which has been converted to provide transitional housing for senior males.
It starts on the front of the building, moving left to right. After the Toronto Feather, is a series of small pieces that run along under the windows.
It turns the corner to reveal the above and following: from left to right.
Chief Lady Bird is Chippewa | Potawatomi | Eagle clan

There is a lot going on here. I like the sense of history through the eyes of modern street art. Good find, Resa!
I adore this mural. I’ve managed to find out where 2 more of Chief Lady Bird’s pieces are.
BTW … I have some murals on the horizon.
That sounds wonderful!
Are any from Iceland? One of my fave artists, Shalak Attack, went to Reykjavík last summer to paint a giant mural. I saw pics, and it is marvelous!
… and I also have some Reykjavik mural posts to prepare!
Yay!!! I wonder if you shot my friend’s mural? I’ll find out soon enough!
I’m hoping to have some time soon to start getting several posts together about Reykjavik’s murals … but time will tell.
Awesome! Another great post Resa.
Thank you Dave!
Awesome, my friend… the lady bird looks like a sort of Mayan /Aztec Phoenix Bird, don´t you think?… Hugs across the miles. ❤
Yes, I agree about the bird. In our First Nations lore, it would be a Thunderbird.
Many of the ancient civilizations in the western hemisphere have art styles and images that are eerily similar. {{hugs}} I found how to spell Athena in Greek letters! It will look awesome graffiti style! ❤
Sounds great, Re!.— Working on the first post of the saga right now… I´ll tell you soon ❤ Hugs and happy day
What outstanding artwork. Spiritual and just beautiful. What a wonderful post.
I adore the First Nations inspired murals! I’m trying to track down more of them!
Beautifully symbolic, Resa. I love the way, in some, the artists have captured nature (trees/flowers) with the night sky as the backdrop for the murals. Brilliant colours, too… 🙂
xoxoxo
The images seem sort of dreamlike to me, very beautiful!
It is a dream of another world and place!S o is Ariella’s Escape. I’m only on chapter 2, but so far so great!
Yay!!! Glad you’re reading and enjoying it 😀
Wow. Reminds me of petroglyphs and Jung, with Jung and his archetypes.
Wow, okay off to Google petroglyphs and Jung! ❤
That is gorgeous. The panda and bird really speak to me.
I know you meant fish, as I already read your other comment! The fish is a beauty. The 2 together are amazing.
LOL Didn’t get my nap, so who knows what I’ll say this time. 😉
A gallery of artful and colorful of beautiful creativeness from the graffiti artist. 🙂
Hello Charlie!
I agree with you! 😀 The artists are fab. I need to get back to your blog. I have a comment. Apologies, but I am beaver busy! xoxo
🙂 Not to worry. You are such an amazing friend. 🙂 Bless you Resa.
I love these Resa. I especially like the Bird symbol but I Am delighted with the whimsy of Lady Bird #2. These are beauties! Good shots girlfriend. 🌸
Yeah! I heard about another of Chief Lady Bird’s murals. Hoping to get there soon. We have a 1 above 0 day on Sunday. Don’t know what I’m going to shoot, but I’m heading out! ❤
Well that’s just freezing! I probably would not get out of bed! Be safe out here! ♥️
It’s -14 right now. GOOD NEWS! Warming up to -4 in the heat of the day tomorrow.
If I don’t get out for a decent walk soon, I’ll implode! Promise! Kidding! 😀 ❤
I am embarrassed to say that at 50 degrees F I barely stick my nose out the door (that’s 10 C)
Ahh, the joy of a 4 hour walk in 10 C weather! Many a mural. or just simple street art can be found. My sneakers gently weep.
You are getting a lot of excercise in your search for art beauty. I should go down to Art Basel downtown Miami and get some shotS! Its gorgeous down there too.
OH DO! May I do a guest post with some of your pics. On my side-bar, you get one of your pics linked to your blog! Yay! Whoop-di-doo!
😀 ❤
❤ 😀
Oh I do love the spiritual influences of this one! Great find, Resa ❤
It is very spiritual, Christy! You must see many influences on Vancouver Island! ❤
Outstanding series!
Sidran, I love it, and am thankful our First Nations artists are out there painting! 😀
