Dale Auger (1958–2008) was a Sakaw Cree artist and storyteller from the Bigstone Cree Nation in northern Alberta. He was born in High Prairie, Alberta, near that province’s second-largest body of water, Lesser Slave Lake. He attended the Alberta College of Art and the University of Calgary, obtaining a master’s degree in education and a PhD in education. His children's book Mwâkwa Talks to the Loon was named Aboriginal Children’s Book of the Year at the 2006 Anskohk Aboriginal Literature Festival and Book Awards and also received the 2007 R. Ross Annett Award for Children’s Literature.
“Medicine Paint: The Art of Dale Auger is powerful. This collection of works and writing adds to the history of Indigenous art and voices in Canada. Dale was a prolific artist, the quality of the works presented in this book demonstrates the depth and breadth of his explorations, it is a journey into the Indigenous cosmos; the teachings so beautifully shared are medicine for us all.” —Adrian A. Stimson, Governor General award winner in Visual Art and current Chair of the Alberta University of the Arts “Dale Auger was what Plains Elders call a real human being. Raised among the old ones but also earning a PhD with the new ones, he embodied two-eyed seeing. The paintings and words in this handsome volume offer glimpses of the knowledge and vision he carried and shared so generously.” —David Garneau, artist, curator, writer, and winner of the Governor General’s Award for Outstanding Achievement in Visual and Media Art “The painting of Dale Auger welcomes us into a spirit world. Like a warm home, he invites us to stay awhile; visit, drink tea and let the stories and colour unfold.” —Tanya Harnett, artist, professor, and member of the Carry-The-Kettle First Nations
