Supported by the Department of Alberta Justice and the Solicitor General and organized by the Art Gallery of Alberta for the Alberta Foundation for the Arts Travelling Exhibition Program, the works in this exhibition expose the healing expressions of the circumstances that led someone down the path to their loss of freedom, and the observer gets a glimpse into the lives and journeys that led them there.

  • Analyse D'œuvres Du Style Artistique Woodland
    TRACES DE PEINTURE ARTIDAVI_VF1_Fiche1 Analyse d’œuvres du style artistique Woodland Norval Morrisseau est considéré comme le père du style artistique Woodland. Au cours des années 1970, il s’est affilié à une coopérative d’artistes, desquels certains ont adopté des aspects de ce langage artistique du style Woodland. Par la suite, il y a eu une relève formée d’une nouvelle génération de peintres qui ont trouvé leur inspiration dans ce style, et ce courant se poursuit encore aujourd’hui. Dans cet exercice, tu exploreras des œuvres de ces deux groupes d’artistes : ceux qui étaient à l’origine, et ceux de la relève. Citation de Daphne Odjig : « Nous sommes un peuple vivant et une culture vivante. Je suis convaincue que notre destin est de progresser, d’expérimenter et de développer de nouveaux modes d’expression, comme le font tous les peuples. Je n’ai pas l’intention de rester figée dans le passé. Je n’suis pas une pièce de musée. » Source : Les dessins et peintures de Daphne Odjig : Une exposition rétrospective, Bonnie Devine, Robert Houle et Duke Redbird, 2007. Consigne Tu analyseras deux œuvres, une de chaque groupe. Les œuvres du premier groupe sont celles d’artistes qui ont côtoyé Norval Morrisseau et comme lui, ont adopté un langage artistique similaire. Leurs couleurs plutôt ternes avec l’ocre très présent rappellent celles des pictogrammes et peintures rupestres sur les rochers dans la région des Grands Lacs où ce style est né. Bien que ces œuvres présentent des ressemblances, le style de plusieurs de ces artistes se transformera dans une forme personnelle, surtout à partir des années 1980, quand on verra émerger l’usage de couleurs éclatantes.

  • Windspeaker February 1996
    --.11., QUOTABLE QUOTE "National Chief Mercredi's actions and statements are an insult to the chiefs." - Manitoba Grand Chief Phil Fontaine '2 00 where applicable PUBLICATION MAIL REGISTRATION k2177 13 No. IO FEBRUARY 1996 Canada's National Aboriginal News Publication Volume POSTAGE PAID AT EDMONTON Thumbs up for treaties VANCOUVER Negotiation is the only acceptable and civilized way for Native people and the government to deal with the complex issues of Abo- riginal title and rights in the province of British Columbia, said Chief Joe Mathias. He was responding to a new study, conducted by ARA Con- sulting Group of Vancouver, which found land claim treaties have a positive effect in regards to economic opportunity, community development and improved relations between Aboriginal and non- Aboriginal people. "The strength of this report is that it provides an independent and balanced perspective of the issues, challenges and opportuni- ties of treaty- making," said Mathias. "It is a critically important and timely document, one we expect will generate constructive public debate in the months ahead." The study found that modern day treaties have not caused the kind of disruption and disharmony their critics contend they do, but neither do they offer instant solutions. A summary report pre- pared by Ken Coates of the University of Northern British Colum- bia said the resolution of long- standing disagreements, through negotiation rather than through legal or politically imposed con- ditions, will liberate people from the contentious and difficult de- bates of the past. "These often heated discussions - about colonialism, disloca- tion, sovereignty, ownership, and the legitimacy of Native land claims - generate a great deal of rhetoric and anger but rarely pro- vide lasting solutions," concludes the summary.

The artworks within this guide and images required for the learning activities and culminating task can be found in the Norval Morrisseau Image File provided. Anishinaabe artist Norval Morrisseau (1931–2007) is considered by many to be the Mishomis, or grandfather, of contemporary Indigenous art in Canada. He is known for creating a distinctive style of painting that came to be known as the Woodland School, and for addressing a wide range of themes in his work, from spiritual beliefs to colonial history. Throughout his career, he explored ways of thinking about the land, and many of his most famous paintings emphasize the idea of land as a relation; Morrisseau believed that people live in relationship with animals, plants, the earth, and the spiritual world, a conviction shared by many Indigenous communities.
