Building Bridges at the Great Falls

Building Bridges at the Great Falls Building Bridges is a retired arts, culture and social justice collective. Art and service-learning initiative for local youth and adults.

We co-created the Building Bridges Mural, bringing together local youth+allies with indigenous artists+elders, and held a discussion series focused on decolonization. Our biggest project to date has been a community mural, called "Building Bridges: Connecting Our Community's Native Roots with Our Diverse Present," which brought together local teen artists with local indigenous artists, elders and

historians to design and paint a mural on the Parks & Recreation Building at Unity Park, at the Great Falls. The mural's success expanded into a film screening and decolonization discussions. We are now focusing on education, environmental stewardship and the development of biogas. "Building Bridges" is supported by the Montague, Gill and Deerfield Cultural Councils, the Gill-Montague School District, Montague Parks & Recreation and Town Planner, the Nolumbeka Project, Great Falls Discovery Center, as well as members of the Elnu Abenaki, Aquinnah Wampanoag, Mohawk, Blackfoot and Nipmuc tribes.
