This collection offers a unique contribution to the scholarship of Indian art in that it documents the effects of the transition period (roughly 1880-1940) on the art of an Indian people--in this case, the Blackfeet. In 1952 the collection was divided; half of it was given to the Museum of the Plains Indian, and the other half was retained by the Northwest Area Foundation. This catalogue that reunites the collection contains four essays, and illustrates more than 400 objects, most of which are Blackfeet. (from Abe Books)

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.

This exhibition celebrates the strength and contemporaneity of Pootoogook’s work but also uncovers how it has influenced her peers. Alongside works by Pootoogook, this exhibition will include works of art by Shuvinai Ashoona, Itee Pootoogook, Jutai Toonoo, Ohotaq Mikkigak and Siassie Kenneally, showing how Annie Pootoogook made it possible to begin a different conversation that celebrates Inuit art in new ways in Canada and the world. Bringing these artists’ works and words together in the Cutting Ice exhibition, will celebrate Annie Pootoogook as an important creative catalyst in contemporary art.
