Simone McLeod
Cultural Background: Ojibway, Pasqua First Nation, SK
Simone McLeod, born in Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1962, belongs to the Name doodem (Sturgeon clan) of the ᓇᐦᑲᐌ (Nakawē-Ojibwe Anishinaabeg). She is a member of Pasqua First Nation in Saskatchewan. Simone, who feels a strong spiritual kinship with her mother’s people, the Azaadiwi ziibi Nitam, or Poplar River First Nation of Manitoba, is a versatile artist: not only does she paint; she is also a talented poet, writer, and photographer. Simone McLeod descends from a long line of Ojibwe Midewiwin healers on both parental sides. Her traditional Anishinaabe name is Aki-egwaniizid, or Ahki-ekwanîsit, which means Earth Blanket, or All That Covers the Earth.
When asked about her painting process, Simone said, “Painting was something that I often thought of when I was a small child, but I felt that it was not the right time. I believed that I had to wait until I could find something that had a lot of meaning to me. Each painting contains a piece of my soul. I have a strong faith in humankind and my paintings are silent prayers of hope for the future.”
Although she is considered a Medicine Painter working in the tradition of the Canadian Native School of Woodland Art, Simone definitely holds a unique place in the art heritage of her People.

Origine Culturelle: Ojibwée, Première Nation Pasqua, SK
Simone McLeod, née à Winnipeg (Manitoba) en 1962, appartient au clan (doodem) Sturgeon des ᓇᐦᑲᐌ (Nakawē-Ojibwé Anichinabé). Elle est membre de la Première Nation Pasqua, en Saskatchewan.
Simone ressent une forte parenté spirituelle avec le peuple de sa mère, les Azaadiwi ziibi Nitam, ou Première Nation de la rivière Poplar, au Manitoba. C’est une artiste talentueuse et polyvalente : elle est peintre, mais aussi poète, écrivaine et photographe. Simone McLeod descend d’une longue lignée de guérisseurs Ojibwés Midewiwin en raison des lignées de ses parents. Son nom traditionnel anichinabé est Aki-egwaniizid, ou Ahki-ekwanîsit, qui signifie Couverture de la Terre, ou Tout ce qui couvre la Terre.
Interrogée sur sa démarche artistique, Simone répond : “Je pensais souvent à peindre quand j’étais petite, mais je sentais que ce n’était pas le bon moment. Je pensais que je devais attendre de trouver quelque chose qui avait beaucoup de sens pour moi. Chaque œuvre recèle un morceau de mon âme. J’ai une foi profonde en l’humanité et mes œuvres sont des prières silencieuses d’espoir pour l’avenir.”
Bien qu’elle soit considérée comme peintre guérisseuse et qu’elle œuvre dans la tradition de l’école d’art autochtone canadien des Woodlands, Simone occupe une place unique dans l’héritage artistique de son peuple.
