There are 140 First Nation reserves in Alberta, Canada. Each reserve is cut out of the landscape ‘for the use and benefit of the respective bands’ of the Indian Act. First Nations people tried to resist signing treatises and being put onto reserves. However their traditional way of life was becoming extinguished and they feared that eventually there might not be any land left for their people at all. First Nations people now see reserves as their immemorial territory, their home. At the edges of these reserves an expanse of space lies, manifesting itself through various physical, social, and emotional experiences. The spatial installation and accompanying book Liminal Space – Awasitipahaskan are focused on these border experiences and analyse the various levels in which the liminality of separation reveals itself.
