Roy Henry Vickers, CM, OBC (born June, 1946, in Laxgalts'ap (now known as Greenville), British Columbia) is a Canadian First Nations artist. He owns and operates a gallery in Tofino, British Columbia.
is The Artist's Website.........
Vickers was born on the Nass River but raised in Kitkatla, Hazelton, British Columbia, and Victoria, B.C. His father was a fisherman who was matrilineally Tsimshian, also with Haida and Heiltsuk ancestry. His mother was a schoolteacher whose parents had immigrated from England and who was in the 1940s adopted into the Eagle clan at Kitkatla, B.C. (making Roy also Eagle). His grandfather was a Kitkatla canoe-carver. The paintings and works that he has created reflect this mixed heritage as his work has many elements of the traditional art of the First Nations peoples of the Pacific Northwest, but remains quite distinctive.
Vickers became interested in Northwest Coast art partly under the influence of the anthropologist Wilson Duff.
His work has been the official gift of the Province of British Columbia to visiting foreign leaders several times. In 1987 the original of his painting A Meeting of Chiefs was the official gift to Queen Elizabeth II. And in 1993 artist's proofs of his print The Homecoming were the Province's gift to Bill Clinton and Boris Yeltsin.
Vickers has been the artistic advisor to several events in British Columbia. In 1994 he was the artistic advisor to the architects and designers of the 1994 Commonwealth Games. For the Games Vickers also created more than 20 totem poles. Also, from 1987 to 1995 Vickers was the artistic advisor for the Vancouver International Airport's new terminal. Some of his work is prominently displayed there for travellers to admire.
Once a substance abuser, in 1992 he created VisionQuest, a non-profit organization designed to help individuals with addictive personalities.

Inside the Collections: Pacific Northwest Coast Peoples
While highlights from the Museum's collection of artifacts from the Pacific Northwest Coast are on display in the Hall of Northwest Coast Indians, more than 13,000 objects are kept in storage in the Division of Anthropology.
Join Curator of North American Ethnology Peter Whitely as he leads a tour of the collections, which includes a giant Kwakwka'wakw whale mask, a Chilkat blanket with three different interpretations of its abstract symbolism, and a Haida/Tsimshian raven rattle.
Many of the artifacts in the Division of Anthropology's Pacific Northwest Coast Collection were amassed during a series of expeditions in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The most scientifically important of these expeditions, the Jesup North Pacific Expedition led by anthropologist Franz Boas between 1897 and 1902, collected more than 4,000 objects.
Visitors can also find a number of whale-related artifacts from the Anthropology collections in the Museum's special exhibition, Whales: Giants of the Deep, now open through January 5, 2014. For more information, visit

Northwest Coast Art: A Community of Tradition, Exhibition Tour
Curator Gerald F. Schroedl, Professor Emeritus, UT Department of Anthropology, gives a tour of his exhibition, Northwest Coast Art: A Community of Tradition, Exhibition Tour (September 8, 2017–March 4, 2018), at the McClung Museum of Natural History and Culture at the University of Tennessee.
The exhibition explores the art of Northwest Coast peoples including the Coast Salish, Haida, Kwakwa̱ka̱’wakw, Makah, Nuu-chah-nulth, and Tlingit. From model totem poles and bentwood boxes, to spoons, prints, and silver bracelets, these objects were created for different purposes––utilitarian, decorative, and ceremonial. What all of them share in common is the desire to preserve and perpetuate Northwest Coast cultural heritage and community.
Norval Morrisseau An Aboriginal Canadian Artist The 'Picasso of the North'
Norval Morrisseau An Aboriginal Canadian Artist The Picasso of the North
Authentic Hand Painted Canvas Art (Famous Masterpieces) Free Shipping and Free Returns....
Norval Morrisseau, CM (March 14, 1932 -- December 4, 2007), also known as Copper Thunderbird, was an Aboriginal Canadian artist. Known as the Picasso of the North, Morrisseau created works depicting the legends of his people, the cultural and political tensions between native Canadian and European traditions, his existential struggles, and his deep spirituality and mysticism. His style is characterized by thick black outlines and bright colors. He founded the Woodlands School of Canadian art and was a prominent member of the Indian Group of Seven.
His full name is Jean-Baptiste Norman Henry Morrisseau, but he signs his work using the Cree syllabics writing ᐅᓵᐚᐱᐦᑯᐱᓀᐦᓯ (Ozaawaabiko-binesi, unpointed: ᐅᓴᐘᐱᑯᐱᓀᓯ, Copper/Brass [Thunder]Bird), as his pen-name for his Anishnaabe name ᒥᐢᒁᐱᐦᐠ ᐊᓂᒥᐦᑮ (Miskwaabik Animikii, unpointed: ᒥᐢᑿᐱᐠ ᐊᓂᒥᑭ, Copper Thunderbird).
Morrisseau was a self-taught artist. He developed his own techniques and artistic vocabulary which captured ancient legends and images that came to him in visions or dreams. He was originally criticized by the native community because his images disclosed traditional spiritual knowledge. Initially he painted on any material that he could find, especially birchbark, and also moose hide. Dewdney encouraged him to use earth-tone colors and traditional material, which he thought were appropriate to Morrisseau's native style.
In 1978, he was made a Member of the Order of Canada. The National Arts Centre, urban ink co-production, Copper Thunderbird, premiered on the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN) on Monday, Feb 4th 2008. Norval Morrisseau was honoured with a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award during the NAAF Awards held at the Sony Centre in Toronto on March 22, 2008.

Norval Morrisseau - Drinking on the Streets of Vancouver c 1987
Clearly Norval, at the end of the 1980s, looks old for his age, on the outside, FAR WORSE ON THE INSIDE...
Certainly old friends noted that the quality of his painting declined severely at the same time. His best work is years behind him.
What is going on inside his body is far worse, as a life of full-time alcohol and drug abuse soon brought on several Strokes, Dementia, Alcohol Dementia, and Parkinson's, preventing him from painting, and finally from talking or communicating.
A deadly, but inevitable progression that his greedy white business partners took great precautions to hide from the public, as they were producing numerous new and large canvases bearing his name.
At the same time as they were publicizing a Conspiracy Theory that said all the paintings in the hands of their business competitors had been declared fakes by Norval.
None of it was true of course: neither was Norval involved, and neither were any of the paintings ever proven -- not a single one -- to be a fake. Quite the contrary; Canada's top forensic experts found them to be authentically signed by Norval Morrisseau, with DNA certainty, and by no one else.
It was just a cold, crass, and diabolical business initiative to try to fix prices and control the market in Morrisseau paintings.
The awful truth is exposed here:

Maker of Monsters: The extraordinary life of Beau Dick
Maker of Monsters is a poignant documentary on the life and career of Kwakwaka'wakw artist, legend, activist, and icon, Beau Dick
Maker of Monsters gives an intimate look into the life of one of Canada’s greatest artists, though he never did consider himself Canadian. Rather, he considered himself a host to the Canadian people. This film strives to capture the essence of Beau Dick and his magical enigma as an artist who symbolized Canada’s history with the First Nations and the ethical dilemmas faced in reconciling with that colonialist history. Beau was able to use his celebrity to call attention to the injustices done to his people and to the environment.
