Cree Canadian Artist and "Grandfather of contemporary Indigenous art in Canada". Growing up, Thunderbird was shamed for being indigenous, but fighting an illness at 19 brought his culture back into his life with vigor. With thick lines and bold colors, his art depicts Cree spiritual stories and legends.
His goals were to remind us all that humans have a profound connection to nature and the universe.
