In Anishinabemowin, Kàgige means “always” and Kitigàn, “garden.” This name speaks to continuity—our relationship with the land and water, and our shared responsibility to protect it.
The name was gifted by four members of the Algonquin community of Kitigan Zibi: Joan Tenasco, Lucille Brennan, Stella Chabot and Joe Louis Morin. The wall’s design was created by artist Stephanie Tenasco, also from Kitigan Zibi.
A daily reminder of the spirit of sustainability and the respect at the heart of Indigenous knowledge.

Today, the University of Ottawa celebrates the gift of an Algonquin name, Kàgige Kitigàn, for the living wall located in the atrium of FSS. This event is organized and hosted by Asèma, which is a campus group composed of FNIM staff and faculty members.
The wall’s standout aspect is the artistry of Stephanie Tenasco, an Algonquin artist from Kitigan Zibi. The living wall enhances sustainability by saving water, reducing energy consumption and improving air quality,
but most importantly, it showcases Indigenous art and culture in a prominent location.
Aujourd’hui, l’Université d’Ottawa célèbre le nouveau nom algonquin donné au mur végétal situé dans l’atrium du pavillon des Sciences sociales : Kàgige Kitigàn. Cet événement est organisé et animé par Asèma,
un groupe de membres du personnel et du corps professoral PNIM (Premières Nations, Inuit et Metis) sur le campus. L’aspect le plus remarquable du mur est l’œuvre de Stephanie Tenasco, une artiste algonquine de Kitigan Zibi.
Ce mur végétal favorise la durabilité en générant des économies d’eau, en réduisant la consommation d’énergie et en améliorant la qualité de l’air, mais plus important encore, il met en valeur l’art et la culture autochtones à un endroit bien en vue.
