Indigenous artist’s design chosen for Afghan war monument

Adrian Stimson says the winning design for the national monument to Canada’s mission in Afghanistan was inspired by the traditional Indigenous medicine wheel and by the stark industrial nature of the Armed Forces bases he visited. Stimson, who is a member of the Siksika Nation, is a veteran and took part in the Canadian Forces Artist Program in 2010.
