Waciiye – I am Mooshum to three grandchildren, father to 5 adult kids and a happy husband to Dr. Keri Cheechoo. As a Mushkego from Constance Lake First Nation and a lifelong artist who also loves photography and stand-up comedy, I am humbled to be a part of this wonderful initiative and collective. I look forward to what we can accomplish together! To learn more about me simply Facebook or Google search “patcheechoofineart”, “patcheechoophotography” or “patcheechoocomedy”. Meengwetch.
Patrick Cheechoo has been painting for over 35 years and loves to tells stories about his family, culture and life on the land through his art; additionally, his love for birds can be seen through both his paintings and photography.
Mr. Cheechoo’s storytelling extends to his stand-up comedy. Laughter and Indigenous life have always come hand in hand, which naturally got me into comedy and storytelling. This passion of my life serves as a reminder that humour has been a part of us since creation and I am honoured to bring a smile to all!
Meegwetch and Waciiye.
