Carrying Point Blankets is a bronze sculpture that depicts hands holding traditional point blankets, symbolizing cultural connection, protection, and Indigenous heritage in Victoria.

These blankets hold deep significance in Indigenous cultures of British Columbia, representing warmth, protection, and the bonds formed through trade and gift-giving. The sculpture honors this rich heritage and highlights the importance of cultural exchange and respect between communities, inviting viewers to reflect on Victoria’s diverse history and the enduring presence of Indigenous traditions.
