“My parents were Scottish and Algonquin. By my mother, I am Anishinabe, Ojibway of the Wolf Clan. I am a Status Indian from Timiskaming First Nation. Adopted also into the Nis’sga in Potlatch by the Dangeli family of the Beaver Clan, and having been gifted a Blackfoot name by Elder Tom Crane Bear, I have spent much of my life working to reconcile the position of Aboriginal populations in Canada.
An award-winning painter and carver in the traditional style of my territories, I juxtapose contemporary visions and themes into my work. I have been privileged to travel and show my work around the world with exhibitions in Canada, Germany, Australia and the United States. I have participated in multi-media, cross- cultural collaborative projects across North America, and in Australia.
I received my Bachelor and Master of Laws from University of British Columbia. I have also completed a PhD at the University of Lethbridge, examining Legal Pluralism, Indigenous Trans-systemics, and the abilities of Indigenous Socio-Legal practices to enhance and improve Western legal paradigms in the area of property law.
All these experiences inform the Ojibway vision I work to share.”
