Canadian Métis artist Nathalie Bertin has created a powerful image of a beaver offering a tree branch to an abstract figure. The beaver's size emphasizes the importance of nature to humanity's survival and represents how the beaver taught the Anishinaabe people about the poplar tree's powerful medicines; its bark providing the background pattern that reinforces the beaver's teachings.
