History
Born in Edmonton Alberta, Littlechild is Cree artist who was separated from his family in childhood, as part of the Sixties Scoop. His artistic talent was encouraged and supported by his foster family. As an adult he began reconnecting with his heritage. Cree culture became both the basis of his career as a visual artist and the lens through which he came to terms with his identity as a two-spirit man.
