"Cindy Blackstock" by Laura Deiter

Laura Deiter is based out of North Bay, Ontario. She is originally from the Peepeekisis Cree Nation, Band #81, in the Treaty Four Territory of Saskatchewan. Since 2017, she has been producing original works of art that are inspired by First Nations culture and the natural beauty of Canada. Laura’s art style is a variation of mixed media but with a primary focus on acrylic paintings and art prints. She chose to honour Cindy Blackstock, a Gitxsan advocate who is nationally and internationally respected for her fight for the rights of Indigenous children. She co-founded the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society in 1998 and has led the organization’s case against the federal government since 2002. Throughout her life she has been an influential voice within the Indigenous, social work and child rights communities.
