Designed by emerging Atikamekw artist Meky Ottawa, Montreal's newest mural pays tribute to the legendary Abenaki filmmaker Alanis Obomsawin. "I don't think I have the words to say what I feel," Obomsawin told CBC News at the unveiling of the mural Monday morning. Alanis Obomsawin plays with First Nations school children in Moose Factory, Ont., in one of the photographs that inspired the mural. The mural is located at the corner of Lincoln and Atwater Avenues, the heart of Montreal's Peter-McGill district, where Alanis Obomsawin has lived for more than five decades. For the unveiling, Obomsawin was joined by a busload of community members who travelled to Montreal from Odanak.
