Isaac Murdoch honours children lost to the residential school system.
Bomgiizhik (Isaac Murdoch) is from Nimkii Aazhibikong First Nation. He is of the Fish Clan and is Ojibwe. He has four beautiful children. He currently lives in the forest at Nimkii Aazhibikong, an Indigenous community that focuses on Indigenous language, art, and land based activities.
Being blessed with the opportunity, Bomgiizhik grew up in the traditional setting of hunting and gathering on the land. Having spent many years learning from Elders, he spends a lot of his time as a Story Teller. Many of these stories become his visual art pieces which have become recognized world wide.
Bomgiizhik is also a Singer-Songwriter who loves to make music when ever he gets a chance. You will often find him on the land looking at his favorite plants or gazing into the beautiful night sky.
Bomgiizhik (Isaac Murdoch) est membre de la Première Nation Nimkii Aazhibikong et du clan du Poisson. Père ojibwé de quatre merveilleux enfants, il vit dans la forêt au sein de la communauté autochtone Nimkii Aazhibikong qui accorde une grande place aux arts et langues autochtones, ainsi qu’aux activités liées à l’exploitation de la terre. Se sentant privilégié, Bomgiizhik a grandi selon des modes de vie traditionnels, c’est-à-dire de la chasse et de la cueillette. C’est aux côtés des Aîné·e·s qu’il a développé son talent de conteur. D’ailleurs, bon nombre de ces histoires sont devenues de véritables œuvres visuelles reconnues dans le monde entier. Grand amateur de musique, il est lui-même auteur-compositeur-interprète à ses heures. Il aime arpenter la nature à la recherche de ses plantes préférées, ou tout simplement contempler la beauté d’un ciel étoilé.
