  • Description: Richard Bedwash* was an Ojibway Indian from Long Lac Reserve near Thunder Bay,Ontario. As a young boy he realized that predominant white culture was tearing him away from his Native roots and language. He returned to the reservation to live his heritage by hunting, trapping, and listening to the many stories of the Tribal Elders. Bedwash learned the craft of painting from Norval Morriseau, founder of theWoodland School of Art, in the 1950s when they both were young men. Bedwash spent a year just watching the master paint, while talking and listening to the Elders, gaining from their knowledge of the ancient ways of the Ojibway.The story goes that one day Morrisseau attached a paper to the wall and turned to Bedwash and said, “Now is the time to start using what you’ve learned.” Bedwash approached the paper, feeling nervous and apprehensive.Despite these feelings, he began to draw and felt as if someone was guiding his hand. He did not take the pencil off the paper until the form of a beaver emerged. Bedwash, with no formal art training, put each of his paintings together instinctively.
