Norval Morrisseau, CM RCA (March 14, 1932 - December 4, 2007), referred to as "Copper Thunderbird" is considered the grandfather of contemporary Indigenous art in Canada. He is heralded as "the key figure at the center of an indigenous art movement in Canada" by the National Chief of Assembly of First Nations and is the only Native Artist to have a solo exhibition by the National Gallery of Canada.

Morrisseau shattered societal, sexual, and commonly held stereotypes and prejudices in the 1960s. In the face of intense discrimination, He created a style that was all his own, an artistic vocabulary that inspired a new art movement. He founded the Woodlands School of Art and was a prominent member of the "Indian Group of Seven".In 1978, He was made a Member of the Order of Canada, a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, and was honored with a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award during the NAAF Awards show in 2008.

Known as the "Picasso of the North", Morrisseau created works depicting the legends of his people, the cultural and political tensions between native Canadian and European traditions, his existential struggles, and his deep spirituality and mysticism.

The story, legacy, achievements, and effects of Morrisseau are immense.
