From the Artist

My Indigenous artist signature, represented with my Indian Act band number, is a powerful statement of identity, sovereignty, and artistic expression. By using this number in my signature, I reclaim and redefine a government-assigned identifier, transforming it into a symbol of resilience, cultural continuity, and personal empowerment. This choice challenges colonial narratives and asserts my place as an Indigenous artist whose work is deeply rooted in heritage, tradition, and the lived experiences of my people. Through this signature, my art becomes more than just creative expression—it is a testament to the strength and endurance of Indigenous identity.
