Germany is a microcosm of struggles taking place across the world against and and for decolonization; for correcting white privilege and supremacy that’s divided and helped destroy our world. We explore the roots of racism, colonialism, and appropriation in Germany from a rarely considered perspective: the Native American stereotype they infamously adore.

Please join us for a weekend at beautiful Wanuskewin, a traditional gathering place. Event is catered and seats are limited. Keynote will be presented by Dr.Carmen Robertson, Robertson is one of country’s leading experts on the work of Norval Morrisseau. “If I was you, I would appropriate you too” Ruth Cuthand, Carmen Robertson, David Garneau. Artists and art historians will respond to the issue of appropriation and how and if it impacts Indigenous artists. Some discussion will also be on the utilization of Indigenous artistic genres by non- Indigenous artists and the art market. "Norval Morrisseau and the influence of the Indian Group of Seven" Faye HeavyShield, Nadia Kurd, Bonnie Devine & Michelle LaVallee. The Indian Group of Seven a play on the Canadian Group of Seven was an important advocacy group of Indigenous artists that began in 1973 with Daphne Odjig, Alex Janvier, Jackson Beardy, Eddy Cobiness, Norval Morrisseau, Carl Ray and Joseph Sanchez. This panel will address the influence of this group and Morrisseau’s role within it. "The intersection between Indigenous worldview/ceremony and art: The development of the Woodland Style" Barry Ace, Maria Campbell, Peter Morin. Prior to contact, Indigenous people did not differentiate the concept of art from ceremony. After contact and the development of the term Indigenous contemporary art, how has the concept of art/ceremony changed if at all? "Woodland today…" Christian Chapman, Donna Langhorne, Quill Christie Peters. The Woodland School of art formulated by Morrisseau has become widely accepted by dominant western Canada as ‘Indian art.’ How have artists resisted western notions of Indigenous art and integrated their own ideas and worldviews to disrupt and decenter those narratives?

  • 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.
