Dale Auger

Auger was a Sakaw Cree from the Bigstone Cree Nation in northern Alberta. He was a talented visual artist whose vividly coloured acrylics captured the attention of many audiences. The subject of Auger’s paintings had varied over the years; where he once sought to portray Native history, he eventually began to capture the deeper, more spiritual levels of Native life, particularly the intricate links between Native spirituality and the natural laws of the land.

Also a renowned comedian and speaker, Auger was much in demand throughout Canada and the United States for his motivational talks. He spoke about the difficulties many Native people face as they integrate into the Western world.

Dale studied education at the University of Calgary for 10 years; he graduated with a doctoral degree in 2000.

Neepin Auger

Neepin has been painting since she was a little girl, and with guidance from her father and has developed a unique style that comes from expressions within. In her paintings the eye is drawn to the emotions of heartache and happiness that extend from native life from past years. Her paintings are distinctly different from those of her father and as Dale says he is passing the torch to the new generation.
