Before his untimely death in
1987 at age 45, Cecil Youngfox had established himself as
one of Canada's leading native artists, renowned for his vivid,
sensitive images of native cultural traditions. Today, his

throughout the world.
Mr. Youngfox was born in 1942 in Blind River, Ontario of Ojibway
and Metis parents. Among the many honours bestowed on him, Mr.

preserving his native heritage.
