All Are My Relatives  -  a Mural by Nancy Deleary, an accomplished artist & Cultural Coordinator at Chippewas of the Thames First Nation

​​Completed at the St. Thomas Public Library, the mural 'All Are My Relatives' by indigenous artist Nancy Deleary highlights the importance of storytelling, and will captivate the next generation of children who gather to read books and listen to speakers in the outdoor reading garden.

​This mural connects with the specific setting at the Library, as well as the surrounding neighbourhood. The upper portion of the artwork, visible from the street, features a fire, row of corn, and an extraordinary night sky, a spectacular setting for the central characters including a storyteller and those gathered to listen by the fire.
