Daphne Odjig, CM OBC RCA (September 11, 1919 – October 1, 2016), was a Canadian First Nations artist of Odawa-Potawatomi-English heritage. Her paintings are often characterized as Woodlands Style or as the pictographic style.
She was the driving force behind the Professional Native Indian Artists Association, colloquially known as the Indian Group of Seven, a group considered a pioneer in bringing First Nations art to the forefront of Canada's art world.[1] She received a number of awards for her work, including the Order of Canada, the Governor General's Award and five honorary doctorates.[2][3]
