After undergoing extensive preservation work, 15 portraits of Saskatchewan aboriginal leaders are going back on the walls at the legislature.

The pastel portraits by Edmund Morris were commissioned by the government in the early days of the province before the legislature was completed.

The Assiniboia Gallery in Regina upgraded the frames and provided further protection for the artworks themselves.

Morris began work on the portraits in 1910 and delivered them a year later.

They now hang in the legislature's Assiniboine Gallery.
