ODAMINMAATIG

Reconcili-Action

The Bracebridge Library worked with Tessa Shank, a multidisciplinary artist and Nipissing First Nation Band member, and Keebee Play to create Odaminmaatig. It roughly translates to “playing under a tree” in English.

The first-of-its-kind structure is set up in the children’s area. It utilizes child-friendly imagery and easy-to-understand wording across four murals to explain the Medicine Wheel and the Seven Grandfather Teachings of love, respect, bravery, truth, honesty, humility, and wisdom.

“The tree has four sides so it made perfect sense to make the teachings be based on the Medicine Wheel, which has four sides, four directions, four colours. Everything is in fours in Anishinaabe teachings.”

Keebee Play

Odaminmaatig is one of the multiple educational play structures created by Keebee Play displayed in the children’s area at the Coulson Family Bracebridge Library.

The Play Tree is prominently featured in the centre of the children’s area. It is surrounded by other play modules, game boards, and round abouts that are installed on the ends of each bay and along some of the walls.
