For National Indigenous History month I have decided to ramble a bit about a particular case I have an interest in and that would have to be Jack Fiddler and his arrest for the murder of a wendigo + the art piece I did last year for it.

More information about it under the Read More:

The fourth drawing I did was to shine a bit of light on the case of Jack Fiddler (Aka Zhauwuno-geezhigo-gaubow, meaning "He who stands in the Southern Sky") involving the murder of a supposed wendigo in 1907.

It's easy to paint Jack Fiddler as a murderer and monster for doing what he did but it's important to keep in mind that he did what he had to do at the time out of necessity as people who would "turn Wendigo" had to be euthanized as they would drive away nearby animals with their howls and cries along with trying to cannibalize others in the clan due to the winter famines that were so common back then.

The whole case opened a whole can of worms for his people as the Canadian government seized the opportunity to introduce, reinforce and impose Canadian law on people who had already been living under their own laws and customs. Prior to 1907, Jack Fiddler's clan were amongst the last groups of indigenous people in Canada living under their own customs and laws.

"IS THIS THE DEATH OF ART?" Well art has died before. Art died in both the 1980s and 1940s. Art died in the industrial revolution. Art died when they invented the printing press. Art died when we stopped painting on cave walls. Art died when you, personally, stopped finger painting. You can absolutely be a hater though that's part of it
