Here's a good CBC story about the approach to designing the Indigenous Peoples' Garden, which is currently being developed for Assiniboine Park:

Cheyenne [Thomas], who is a graduate of the University of Manitoba's environmental design program, is part of the new generation of Indigenous designers.

"I don't think that it's about teepees or turtle shaped buildings. I feel like that's another stereotype," said Cheyenne. "Indigenous design is modern, it's sustainable, it's our values that are still there as Indigenous people. It's ownership to all of these deep rooted connections with the land."
