Description

Set of 20 can-shaped ceramics (parts a-t), painted to imitate Campbell's soup cans. Some are named with traditional Campbell's names, while some are Cree inspired flavours. Each 'label' also gives the Cree language translation of the flavour in the upper section, and "Naboob" is written at the bottom of each can (the Ojibwa word for soup/stew). The cans are labelled: (part a) Kisti' Kânis / Vegetable; (part b) Wâpoos / Rabbit; (part c) Atihkowiyâs / Caribou Meat; (part d) Misi'hew / Turkey; (part e) Âhkosê' pet / Hangover; (part f) Sikotîyikun / Hamburger; (part g) Kihcôkiniy / Tomato; (part h) Mooso' kot / Moose Nose; (part i) Iotasahkêw Mohtêwiyâs / Indian Agent Maggoty Meat; (part j) Mistam' Ekos / Salmon; (part k) Papahâh Kwân / Chicken; (part l) Mostos Wiyâs / Beef; (part m) Askipwâwi / Potato; (part n) Oskan / Bone; (part o) Muskwa Wiyâs / Bear; (part p) Âmisk Wiyâs / Beaver; (part q) Sosâ' Siw Unawîy / Salmon Cheek; (part r) Okês' Kwew / Spring Chicken; (part s) Miskin' Âhk / Turtle; (part t) Osâw'puk / Pumpkin.
