DSC01594Mary Gibbs Mississippi Headwaters Center Sculpture by Jeff Savage “Please Touch”. It is an Ojibwe belief that women are the caretakers of the Water. In this sculpture a woman is leaning over, releasing a clutch of small turtles from a basket, renewing the seasons and continuing the waters of life. Her flowing hair is like that of the flowing water. The turtles, a strong water symbol, symbolize the universal cycles of life in the Ojibwe belief.
