Statement of Respect and Authenticity

We believe that Indigenous artists should be treated fairly and with respect. Authenticity of art, design, and culture is the foundation of our mission of building everyday connection to Indigenous cultures.

Native Northwest products are guided by the following five principles:

• 100% of the art featured on every Native Northwest product is designed by Indigenous artists

• All artists have provided consent and contractual permission for their art to be featured on Native Northwest products

• Artist names are acknowledged on all product packaging

• Cultural traditions are honoured by acknowledging cultural affiliation on product packaging

• Artists are paid in fees and royalties

Maynard Johnny Jr. was born in 1973 in Campbell River, BC, and is of Coast Salish Penelakut descent on his father's side and Cape Mudge Kwakwaka'wakw on his mother's side. He is primarily a self-taught artist who has been studying and working since the age of seventeen.

Maynard's signature use of bold, bright colours and graceful line work embodies the beauty and energy of contemporary Coast Salish art while drawing upon the rich history of Coast Salish two-dimensional design. 

He has been inspired by many North West Coast artists and particularly admires the works of Robert Davidson, Art Thompson, and Mark Henderson.Maynard Johnny Jr. was born in 1973 in Campbell River, BC, and is of Coast Salish Penelakut descent on his father's side and Cape Mudge Kwakwaka'wakw on his mother's side.
