Sault-born artist wants to repurpose mural of a woodland-style canoe — inspired by two-spirit Métis artist Cecil Youngfox — that once adorned exterior of the former Mill Market

A two-spirit Métis artist with roots in Sault Ste. Marie wants to find a new home for a piece of the Mill Market’s past that was left behind after its recent relocation.

But Strapp wants to use the remaining mural — a woodland-style canoe inspired by the memory of nationally acclaimed, two-spirit Métis artist Cecil Youngfox — with the goal of creating another mural project of some sort in the Sault. Youngfox, a native of Blind River, Ont., died from cancer in 1987. He was 44 years old at the time of his death.

But what many folks don’t know, Strapp said, is that Youngfox spent years working at Algoma Steel in Sault Ste. Marie.
