Mary Longman (born 1964 in Fort Qu'Appelle, Saskatchewan) is a Canadian artist.
[2] She is known for her sculptures, drawings, and paintings, which examine political, cultural, spiritual and environmental issues related to the experiences of Aboriginal people and colonialism, including the Sixties Scoop and residential schools.
[5] She has stated that she aims to "depict the psychological and social effects these [colonial] views have upon people of First Nations, minority groups and the general public.
The ultimate goal is to disseminate an awareness of these conditioning effects and hopefully bring about a greatly needed change of thought.
On National Aboriginal Day, 21 June 2006, this sculpture was unveiled in front of the MacKenzie Art Gallery in Wascana Park.
