M.L.BigCanoe
61yrs old, never to late to learn. I started
carving about 6 yrs ago and found the it soon became a passion in my life. I
have a workshop in my basement where I do my carvings. Everything I do
starts off from pieces of bone or antler, which are carved into likenesses of
power animals. moose antlers mounted on elk antler, that are carved into
eagles.
I was born in Rouyn-Noranda, my
Mother was from NotreDameDuNord Reserve in North Temiskaming Quebec, and we
are of Algonquin heritage. I've been living here in Lethbridge for about
18 yrs, Five of those years I wasted going to University. I've been doing
Crafts for a great many years. I make drums, rattles, a bit of moose
hair tufting, quill work on birch bark, leather and bead work. It wasn't until
I started to carve that I felt I had found my niche.
I have been looking for other
native carvers doing the same kind of work. There is a spiritual connection to
my carvings which has helped me tremendously in all facets of my life
