About this episode

We are so excited to share a new series from our Canadian podcast friends Once Upon a Time in Hollywood North


A series about a group of artists known as the Professional Native Indian Artists Incorporation (PNIAI) or as they were dubbed by the press: the Indigenous Group of Seven.


This was significant because the most famous Euro-Canadian painters then were known as the Group of Seven which put respect on their name - especially for Indigenous artists who were still thought of as less than their white counterparts as well as their work being seen more as anthropology than art…


The PNIAI artists include:


Daphne Odjig

Alex Janvier

Jackson Beardy

Eddy Cobiness

Norval Morrisseau

Carl Ray

Joseph Sanchez


Listen to the first episode here, then go and subscribe to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood North to finish the series over the coming weeks.

Once the series has wrapped up we will have a bonus episode covering some of our favorite works from the series.
