- Abstract
- Pertains to the artwork and art history of Alex Janvier, an Indigenous man from the Cold Lake First Nations, Treaty 6 Territory. While reflecting his strong Indigenous culture, his art combines both Indigenous and Canadian stylistic elements. His art is deeply representative of his connection to nature, as well as the struggles imposed upon Indigenous Peoples through colonial relations. Parallels can be drawn when considering the effects of colonial relations on Indigenous Peoples and communities, such as those who resided in and around the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
