About the Artist: Claire Brascoupé
Claire Brascoupé, the Algonquin Anishinabe artist behind the visuals on this page, has a remarkable ability to transform ideas into captivating designs. Her artwork was created to represent the essence of the Circle of Success Educational Grant and features animals and plants found within Ontario, including those in the waters, on land and in the sky.
Each element in her artwork carries significant meaning. The Robin is a symbol of hope, growth, and renewal. The Blue Jay is kind to those who show kindness and is protective of its family. The Beaver embodies wisdom in the seven Grandfather teachings. The Bear is the head of all animals in Algonquin teachings, brings other animals together and embodies bravery and courage in the seven Grandfather teachings. The Bass is a warm-water fish native to Ontario. The Turtle embodies truth in the seven Grandfather teachings; Sky Woman created Turtle Island on the back of a giant turtle in Haudenosaunee creation stories. The wildflowers include Sage, which is one of the four sacred medicines, and Strawberries, which are the first berries seen in the spring/summer and the leaders of the berries.
Her artistic talent and creative vision have played a crucial role in making our content visually appealing and memorable. We are grateful for her contributions and pleased to showcase her work.
