The works of this artist illustrate decades, even centuries, of a hidden truth recently coming out (pun intended) as ancestors speak of and reveal a history long forgotten in North American society. It was his provocative artwork about the western frontier (in both Canada and the United States) that opened the floodgates of curiosity about our hidden past. The condemnation is sometimes complex, such as the abstract paintings like "Hope," "Love" and "Struggle for Balance," or bluntly honest about the long term negative impact of the white man on the red man in his heartbreaking depictions of children stolen from their families by church officials and Canadian Mounties in "A mother's Grief," or "Study of the Removal of Children." His work condemns the past and the treatment of Indians, First Nations, aboriginals or indigenous people (whatever politically correct or incorrect term you wish to use). This story has just finally come to light because of the paintings of a Canadian aboriginal artist. The winners and the oppressors have been doing the recording (and the cover-ups) throughout recorded history, and perhaps no more poignant hidden history exists than the truth of the American frontier.Īlthough there is truth to many of the stories of the Wild West, there's one secret that's been kept hidden for over two hundred years. Most of the time, they are also the oppressors. PS: Western is not my forte so please don't judge me too much on this story. Thanks to Tex Beethoven, Black Randi, thor_p, Robert, and Wayne for editing this strange attempt. Note 1: This is a special western themed story created by the lovely Black Randi.
