Provenance:

Acquired directly from the artist by a private collector in 1968, during his tenure with the Department of Indian Affairs (Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development),
The Wah-Sa Gallery, Winnipeg, MB, c. 2008,
Private collection, Canada

Note:

Nanabush is a trickster character from Anishinaabe mythology who is particularly prominent amongst the Ojibwa. A ‘windigo’ is a giant thing that eats people.

In 1971, a ten book series on Nanabush was published by the Manitoba Department of Education that used the illustrations and re-telling of the legends of the Daphne Odjig.
