A representation of Fort Gibraltar, the Northwest Company post begins this mural.

Again, I am on Main Street dodging cars and sun, so I shot the mural in sections. I present them in order from left to right.

Miles Macdonell, the appointed governor, proclaiming the land for Lord Selkirk. Feeling the earth, a Red River settler.

More Red River (Selkirk) settlers moving in. They were of The Hudson’s Bay Company and taking over from The Northwest Company. This is 1 of 5 historical murals at 1812 Main Street.

Scene of 1790- A Cree encampment by the Red River.
The actual mural is approximately 21 feet long. Due to traffic and sun, I couldn’t get into any position for a wide shot.

From the teepee to the Chief, I shot the mural in pieces.

There’s a panorama setting on my IPhone, but I hadn’t discovered it, yet.

This is 1 of 5 murals at 1812 Main Street.
