Lot Report

Note:

After having endured five years in a residential school as a child, Bradley Hunt found much of his culture and spirit had been beaten out of him. Upon returning to his village, being aided by traditional stories and support by his relatives, Hunt again found pride in his heritage. Today, it is his goal to provide cultural inspiration to youth’s and other emerging artists by sharing his culture’s stories and traditions through his artwork.
