Murals were unveiled along the Lower Simcoe Street underpass in Toronto, Ontario, in 2019.[1] Lead artist Tannis Nielsen worked with Indigenous artists to create the artworks.[2] According to Muskrat Magazine, Gchi-twaa-wendan Nibi ("Honour the Water") on the eastern wall is dedicated to the Water Walkers, and 'N' gekaajig kidowog ("My Elders Said") on the western wall commemorates elders in Toronto.[3]
