BADA JEAN
About the artist
Bada Jean - Visual ArtistNêhiyaw | Denesuline | WelshTreaty 6 & 7, Ahtahkakoop Cree Nation & Tsuut'ina Nation
Bada Jean is a Nêhiyaw (Cree), Dene and Welsh visual artist from Treaty 6 and 7 territory. Her roots come from Ahtahkakoop Cree Nation and Tsuut'ina Nation. She grew up in Alberta and Saskatchewan, and now lives and works on Sumas and Matsqui First Nation Territory. (Chilliwack, BC). Bada Jean is a painter working with acrylic, spray paint and traditional materials, as well as a digital illustrator. She hopes to share her culture with art, by using traditional imagery and language within her works in her own style. She uses her art as documentation as she reconnects and comes back to her culture. As she learns her language, she uses Cree syllabics and language within her work as an act of reconcillation. She hopes to inspire others to come back to their culture for it is not lost, and hopes other Indigenous people across the world reconnect, because it has always been with us.
Our shops are a not-for-profit organization that have been apart of the Wanuskewin Heritage Park for over 30 years now. With our earnings going back into the park and other organizations such as ones involved in survivors of Residential schools as well as families of Missing Murdered Indigenous Women; we are fortunate and proud to be apart of Treaty 6 Territory.
