"Summertime in Western Kanata/Canada now always involves a bout of heavy thick smoke. Two summers ago it lasted almost a month in my town due to fires caused by global warming. Fires are on the upswing all over the planet. We must stand up like this brave man to say NO to climate change."

George Littlechild was born in Alberta, the son of a Plains Cree mother and a Celtic father, and was raised by foster parents in Edmonton. Littlechild received a diploma in art and design from Red Deer College in 1984, and a BFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, Halifax, in 1988. His mixed-media paintings are often socially charged in response to political movements, societal concerns such as reconciliation and reclamation, as well as personal history. He says of his work "...I am committed to righting the wrongs that First Nations peoples have endured by creating art that focuses on cultural, social and political injustices. As an artist, educator and cultural worker, my goal is a better world. It is my job to show the pride, strength and beauty of First Nations people and cultures, and contribute to the betterment of mankind." George has exhibited in galleries around the world, and his art is in several important collections.
