Gerald Tailfeathers

Gerald Tailfeathers (February 14, 1925—April 3, 1975), was one of the first Indigenous Canadians to become a professional painter. His depictions of the “Blood People”, also known as the Kainai people, were brought to life through realism and choice of colours. His work has been described as “romantic, nostalgic, and traditional” due to a majority of his work being in "Studio Style" Provided by Wikipedia
