"I’m a mother, kookoom to many and my relationships continue to thrive. Through cultural resilience, I bite back."

Remember
by John Rombough, Chipewyan Dene
Both the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day take place on September 30.
The day honors the children who never came home, the Survivors of residential schools, and their families and communities. Publicly acknowledging the tragic history and lasting effects of residential schools is a crucial part of the reconciliation process.
"I’m a mother, kookoom to many and my relationships continue to thrive. Through cultural resilience, I bite back."
"My art is more than just creation; it's a testament to the strength and beauty of Indigenous culture, a language spoken in hues and textures through the love of pointillism."
“Painting helps keep me connected to my culture in many ways. Through painting I am always learning more about my community, our history, our stories. A painting is part of that connection that I can share with everyone.”
"I love incorporating my community and nature in all the work I create. I have also created my
own personal style over the years which comes from the traditional northwest coast formline
but is not traditional. I enjoy making works of art that represents my culture and community."
Through our products, Oscardo is showcasing the works of our artists and supporting the Canadian and Native art communities.
