Introduction to the Canadian Indigenous Art by ERNESTO HERNANDEZ
Canadian Indigenous art is a profound expression of the cultures, histories, and spiritual traditions of the First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples. It reflects their deep connection to the land, their stories, and their communities, often serving as a medium for preserving and sharing their heritage. Among the contemporary voices bringing renewed attention to this art form is Ernesto Hernandez, an artist whose work bridges the ancient and the modern, celebrating the essence of Indigenous culture through a unique lens.
