Wachay, my name is Adrien Nakogee and I’m a Swampy Cree Indigenous artist from Moose Cree First Nation. I first started my artistic journey as a teenager with sketches then later evolved my artistic abilities to painting and digital art as an adult. I am inspired everyday from our culture, people and traditions and implement that into the work that I do as an artist. A way to continue my artistic journey is to inspire other indigenous artists, promote art as a healing
tool and a way to be closer to your culture.
Our mission is to foster connection, opportunity, and knowledge-sharing for those who create (Oshichikesiwuk). In doing so, we empower the voices of Mushkegowuk Cree to express the sacred connection between our people, water, land, and all our relations.
We envision a future where the voices of Omushkegowuk creators (Oshichikesiwuk) are empowered and valued, ensuring a legacy of harmony between culture and sustainability that resonates through generations connected to the James Bay Coast (Nanipek).
