Calgary Society of Animated Objects

C.A.O.S. is working to present the White Buffalo Women legend at Pow Wows across Alberta, and the Rozsa Foundation is supporting this endeavour. In order to achieve this goal, the blessing of Native Elders was necessary. Once obtained, the twelve foot tall puppet needed to be constructed and made to move. Costumes and regalia was added. How is this being accomplished? Through innovative partnerships and collaboration. Engineering students from the Schulich School, the Native Brotherhood in Drumhellar, and local artists have provided manpower. The community has had a glimpse of this project at the 2007 Stampede Parade, and hopefully will see the finished product in 2009. This kind of community involvement and impact is a high priority for the Foundation.
