I was looking on the American Indian Center (AIC) at UNC website and found this painting to be very interesting. It was painted by Christopher H. Kennedy and was created for the AIC and was unveiled on March 20, 2009 at the American Indian Reunion Banquet. This was with the painting...The creator gave land to the people. The people created a university. The university builds an “Old Well” in 1795. The “Old Well” gave life and sustenance to the people and animals. The creator is pleased, the bear is the symbol of strength for the people, the cougar is the symbol of balance and grace, and the eagle is the symbol of leadership. The pale of knowledge spills into the pool of the dream catcher and through time, hard work, and perseverance the “Old Well” is transformed into the current structure and the circle of life continues. I found this painting to be interesting and symbolic to Native American culture. What do you think about the painting?
