MessageCollection: Joshim Kakegamic (1952-1993) - Anishinaabe (Cree)
Joshim Kakegamic was an Ojibwe artist from Sandy Lake First Nation, Ontario, known for his contributions to Woodland Art. Mentored by Norval Morrisseau and Carl Ray, he began painting in the late 1960s and later conducted workshops across Ontario.
In 1973, Kakegamic co-founded the Triple K Cooperative with his brothers, creating a platform for Indigenous artists to print and promote their work. The cooperative became a major Indigenous economic initiative in Northwestern Ontario. His paintings were exhibited in Canada and internationally, including at Canada House in London.
Kakegamic tragically passed away in 1993 while attempting to save a drowning person. His work is held in major collections, including the McMichael Museum, the Canadian Museum of History, and the Royal Ontario Museum.
