Ice Bear (in Ojibway, Mikwamii-makwa, and Chris Johnson to his friends) is a status member of the Chippewas of Nawash at Cape Croker at Georgian Bay in Ontario. Chris, while still a teen, attended the Toronto Artist’s Workshop, and later Sheridan College. After college, he went to work in the advertising and communications industry, spending the next 25 years as designer and art director.

With his arrival on the west coast, in the early 80s, he felt a growing need to follow his dreams, fulfill his “responsibilities” and give the visions the chance to materialize. He moved to Vancouver Island, adopting the name Ice Bear for his art, and made a personal commitment to fine art.

Smohalla was head of the Dream cult that included members from of the Nez Perce people and other tribes in the North West. He believed that with respect and honour as a basic part of this life, they would return from the next life and reclaim their hereditary lands. The artist shows Smohalla’s spirit rising from the dead, accompanied by other spirits. The kingfishers are guardians, to protect against attacks by arrow, bullet, and other flying dangers.
