Simone McLeod (Aki-egwaniizid) is an Anishinaabe artist, born in Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1962 and a member of the James Smith Cree Nation in Saskatchewan. She belongs to he Name doodem (Sturgeon clan) of her mother's people, the Azaadiwi-ziibi Nitam-Anishinaabeg (Poplar River First Nation) of Manitoba.

Simone's work has been appreciated by several art collectors and educational and health care institutions from Canada, as well as by many art lovers from the UK, Austria, France, the Netherlands, Greece, South Africa, Japan, India, and New Zealand.

----------------------------------------------

If there is one artist in Canada who deserves a podium honoring her work like this beautiful blog does, created by Ugo Matulic, it is my good friend Simone McLeod/Aki-egwaniizid. Her art, which expresses the universe of the Peoples of the First Nations, very much deserves to stand at the center, at the very heart of Canadian society as a whole.
