Native Artists
The Indian Group of Seven
Norval Morrisseau is the grandfather of native artists in Canada. He and six other First Nation artists were labelled The Indian Group of Seven by Winnipeg Free Press reporter Gary Scherbain. The list includes:
The Woodlands School
As individuals, the Indian Group of Seven influenced a new generation of legend painters that some refer to as The Woodlands School. These artists are representative of that genre.
Other Native Artists
As galleries and museums began to rethink the definition of First Nation's art more and more native artists saw career possibilities. Here's a sampling, listed alphabetically:
- Bear, Ned
- Nokomis
- Poitras, Jane Ash
- Sapp, Allen
- Schilling, Arthur
- Syliboy, Alan
- Tailfeathers, Gerald
