Norval Morrisseau was born on March 14, 1932 on the Sand Point Reserve in Ontario. Morrisseau was the originator of the pictographic style that would become known as the "Woodlands School". His style was a fusion of European easel painting, Ojibwe Midewiwin Society scroll, and pictography of rock painting. Morrisseau was the first artist of First Nations ancestry to break through the Canadian professional white-art barrier. For Morrisseau, the 1970s were a time of struggle to reconcile traditional Midewiwin and Christian religions in his art and personal life. Combining his Ojibwa heritage, instilled in him by his maternal grandfather, Moses Nanakonagos, with the religion Eckankar, his works during the 1980s became more focused on spiritual elements. Morrisseau continued to study Ojibwe shamanistic practices until late in his life, which he believed elevated his work to a higher plane of understanding. Norval Morrisseau was presented with the Order of Canada in 1978. In 2006, the National Gallery of Canada mounted Norval Morrisseau - Shaman Artist, a travelling retrospective exhibition of the artist's work. He died December 4, 2007 in Toronto, Ontario.
