Charles Bullshields Jr. is a First Nations artist from the Blood Tribe in Southern Alberta. He is self taught and his main medium is pen ink. He enjoys drawing the portraits of Elders from the past and present. He incorporates scenery, animals and eagles to his pictures with some native perspective.
"My culture and heritage is very important in my life. I use my art to reflect and to keep in touch with my native beliefs and traditions."
The Fort Museum of the NWMP and First Nations Interpretive Centre is grateful to have the opportunity to meet and work on Treaty 7 territory. As settlers on these lands, it is important to acknowledge that we are located on the unceded territory of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot Nation), including Siksika, Piikani, Kainai, the Tsuut’ina Nation and the Stoney Nakoda First Nations, as well as the Metis Nation Region 3. We want to express our respect for the territory we reside in and honour the diverse Indigenous People who have lived and worked on this land historically and presently. We, the staff, and leadership at The Fort Museum, are committed to being active participants in reconciliation. We are committed to actively working through programs and displays to decolonize the Blackfoot voice in our spaces.
