Villem Zach's bronze statue of a woman and her two children is meant to recognize the traditional lands of the Blackfoot and Métis people in this area. The sculpture was unveiled on December 10, 2010.

The woman watches her step carefully as she descends from the hill behind her. One child is by her side, while the other is bundled on her back.

This sculpture is part of the Artisan Corner in the Native Gardens, located in Fish Creek Provincial Park's Bow Valley Ranch area. It was the first artwork to be unveiled, but many others are planned.
