Ryan Watson of Rocco Stone Masonry has spent hundreds of hours working on limestone carvings for a Saskatoon Cree school, creating a lasting story etched in stone. The artwork, unveiled on May 4, 2026, features intricate designs that reflect Cree heritage and traditions.
Hundreds of Hours of Craftsmanship
Watson dedicated countless hours to sculpting the limestone panels, each piece carefully chiseled to depict cultural symbols and stories. The project required precision and patience, as the stone was sourced locally to ensure authenticity and durability.
A Lasting Legacy
The carvings are now permanently installed at the school, serving as an educational tool and a source of pride for the community. Elders and students alike have praised the artwork for its beauty and cultural significance.
This project highlights the importance of preserving Indigenous art and history through traditional craftsmanship. The school plans to incorporate the carvings into its curriculum, teaching students about their heritage in a tangible way.
