International Acclaim

It also features several other famous artists, including Alex Janvier, Roy Thomas, Jane Ash, Jim Logan, George Littlechild and several others.
Spiritual Subject Matter
First Nations people are usually very spiritual and that aspect absolutely comes through in their art. However, though there are several images of the Eagle Spirit and other spiritual figures, the subject matter varies greatly. You can find images of animals, romance, the bathing of a child and a violent battle. Their connection to nature is apparent in the way they portray animals in their artwork.
