如果你登上唐斯维尤公园最大的山顶，你将发现一个令人惊喜的动态装置：唐斯维尤风玫瑰，它颂扬此地风，景色与本土性的联系。这座互动装置由Future Simple Studio设计建造，主体是一圈充满活力的蓝色旗帜，连接到32个方形拱门上，排列成类似指南针的阵型，就像一幅巨大的风玫瑰图。
An invigorating climb to the summit of
Downsview Park’s largest mound of earth will be rewarded! On top you’ll find
the Downsview Wind Rose: a dynamic installation that celebrates the wind, the
view, and the Indigenous connections to this place. This interactive structure,
created by Future Simple Studio, features a circle of vibrant blue flags
attached to a radial network of 32 square arches, arranged in a compass-like
formation that resembles a huge wind rose.
风玫瑰图是气象学家发明的一种历史悠久的工具，用于绘制特定位置的风的方向，速度和频率。唐斯维尤的风玫瑰图被描绘在装置中心的混凝土长凳上，是针对唐斯维尤机场画的，展现了当地盛行的西北风。
A wind rose is a time-honoured tool
invented by meteorologists to map the direction, speed, and frequency of wind
in a specific location. The wind rose for Downsview, depicted on the concrete
bench at the installation’s center, is specific to the Downsview airport, and
shows the local area’s prevailing northwest winds.
在风吹起的地方，你会发现唐斯维尤风玫瑰隐藏的宝物：一组由Mi'kmaq艺术家Chris和Greg Mitchell设计的旗帜，它引领着Born in the North设计工作室。这组名为《海龟与旅行者》的作品是以这片土地和当地历史为基础设计而成。旗帜位于装置的西北方向，一个是白色的，代表印第安巫轮上的北方，另一个是黑色的，代表西方。
Where those winds prevail, you’ll find the
jewel of the Downsview Wind Rose: a set of flags designed by Mi'kmaq artists,
Chris and Greg Mitchell, who lead the Born in the North design studio. The
work, titled “The Turtle and the Traveller,” is based on the history of these
lands and the local area. The flags are positioned at the installation’s
northwest, therefore one is white, representing north on the medicine wheel,
and the other is black, representing the west.
▽《海龟与旅行者》旗帜
白旗上绘制了一位旅行者，以此纪念原住民将此地作为贸易和旅行的重要路线的历史。黑旗上的海龟代表陆地、海龟岛，以及当地的野生动物。它的外壳参考了巫轮的图案，以突出传统的教义，这种风格让人想起东部兀兰人的岩画。
The white flag depicts a traveller,
honouring Indigenous people's historic use of this place as an important route
for trade and travel. The turtle on the black flag represents the land—Turtle
Island—as well as the local wildlife. Its shell references a medicine wheel to
highlight traditional teachings. The style is reminiscent of petroglyphs from
the Eastern Woodlands people.
