Ojibwa Warrior 

Norval Morrisseau painted ‘Ojibwa Warrior’ using vivid colours and strong lines to depict an Ojibwa warrior accompanied by two birds. These avian figures, prominent in many indigenous cultures, often symbolize spiritual connection and guidance. Consider the Egyptian god Horus, frequently depicted as a falcon or a man with a falcon's head. Horus embodies protection, kingship, and divine power. Similarly, in ancient Greek mythology, birds like the owl are associated with wisdom, while eagles symbolize strength and sovereignty. These associations are not arbitrary. The flight of birds, their keen vision, and their ability to traverse earthly and celestial realms resonate deeply with human aspirations and spiritual longings. The presence of birds in 'Ojibwa Warrior' engages our collective memory, invoking a sense of spiritual connection that transcends cultural boundaries. The warrior, therefore, is not merely a figure of strength but a conduit to deeper, primal understanding.
