His beautiful and interesting picture, drawn when he was 19 -- which is all I have by him now -- is used as a logo on these pages. Partly it is a memorial to a wonderful person and fine artist. Partly it is a memorial to the still-difficult lives of many Indian youth. In spite of some limited recognitions of National Sovereignty by governments of the U.S. and Canada, which have led to improved conditions for many tribal people, many still lead lives that are very hard and bitter -- and the suicide rate among Indian youth is still higher than that of any other ethnic group of the 2 countries. Yet out of this still comes art of great beauty and vision, like Martin's.

HONORING and MEMORIAL: All these Pages are dedicated to the memory of Martin Panamick. "Two Fish", logo of the ArtPages, is by Martin Panamick, (1956-1977) a talented Ojibwe-Odawa from West Bay Reserve, Manitoulin Island, in Lake Huron, Ontario, Canada . Martin was one of the young artists from Manitoulin who participated in the revival of Medicine Painting, which is influenced by the style (and cultural interests) of Norval Morrisseau, Canadian Ojibwe. It is similar to "Whitefish", a mural in the tribal gallery of the Ojibwe Cultural Foundation at Manitoulin. The Council Chamber at West Bay contains 2 large panels by this highly talented young genius. Many of his pen sketches from the nature sketching walks he loved to take illustrate publications of the Cultural Foundation, among these a cookbook, Nishnabe Delights, of recipes collected from Manitoulin and the northern shore Reserves. He designed the eagle symbol, still used to identify crafts sold through the Cultural Foundation. His untimely death was a great loss to all who knew him, as well as anyone who loves art.
