The “Gift of the Old Well” Painting
This painting was created for the American Indian Center at UNC Chapel Hill and unveiled on March 20, 2009 at the American Indian Reunion Banquet.
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.
