Ode to Olga

Observed on treaty 4 territory; the traditional lands of the Cree, Saulteaux, Dakota, Lakota and Nakoda, and homeland of the Métis/Michif Nation. This was once a one-room schoolhouse where my grandmother went to school, converted into her home and Olga's Beauty Salon where she lived and worked in Ituna, Saskatchewan, Canada.
