Of all the Ontario First Nations art galleries, Maslak McLeod Gallery has arguably been the most important in terms of bringing Canadian Indigenous art to the world. It has held exhibitions in Germany, Italy, Brazil and the United States.

Gallery Indigena

Gallery Indigena in Stratford is another of Ontario’s First Nations galleries that’s been around for over 30 years. Here, you’ll find Inuit sculpture and prints, Iroquois sculpture, paintings, North West Coast masks and wood art.

Many artists have been featured at Gallery Indigena; it would be impossible to name them all! Maxine Noel, Lee Claremont, Susan Point, Pudlo Pudlat and Kenojuak Ashevak are just a few examples.

Native Renaissance II

On the north shore of Lake Ontario in southeastern Ontario lies the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory. Here, you’ll find Native Renaissance II, an Ontario First Nations art gallery featuring the work of Mohawk artist Thomas B. Maracle.

Maracle’s sculptures aren’t all you’ll find at Native Renaissance II. The gallery features a wide variety of native art and artifacts, jewelry, crafts and gifts.

Angelique Levec’s remarkable native birch bark biting art has been featured at Native Renaissance II as have Jean Irene Willing’s watercolour and ceramics.
