Thunderbird by Squamish Nation artist Sinámkin – Jody Broomfield.
ART-ID #159
Sinámkin constructed Thunderbird using high-grade durable aluminum. The sculpture sits atop a three-metre high cylinder and illuminates at night. The piece pays homage to the Squamish Nation legend of Black Tusk Mountain and how it became what it is today.
A new First Nations public art piece, Thunderbird, was created by Squamish Nation artist Sinámkin – Jody Broomfield. It is located at the east end of the Upper Village Stroll at Chateau Boulevard and acts as a landmark to draw visitors through the Upper Village to the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre (SLCC) and beyond onto the rest of the Cultural Connector route.
