Norman Knott 1945 - 2003

\"Norman Knott is a Native artist who was born on the Curve Lake Reserve, just north of Peterborough, Ontario in 1945. He lived in this small quiet community all his life and resided there with his wife and three children. The knowledge he has acquired here allows him to create meaningful and colourful paintings.

Norman’s paintings appear to be caught between his background myths and today’s realistic styles. His closeness to nature, as well as a keen eye and steady hand have given the figures in his paintings a realist outline; his Ojibwe background adds an inner touch of symbolism. Although his style may be different, his art has put him in a class with such renowned artists as Robert Bateman and Michael Bumas. It is this unique style that has given him a wide range of popularity outside the Kawartha’s, including art dealers and collectors from across Canada, United States, Great Britain, Germany and Australia. While his present media is acrylic, he also worked with oils and watercolour.\"

\"The Tribe

Anishinaabe or Anishinabe—or more properly Anishinaabeg or Anishinabek, which is the plural form of the word—is the autonym often used by the Odawa, Ojibwe, and Algonquin peoples. They all speak closely related Anishinaabemowin/Anishinaabe languages, of the Algonquian language family.

The meaning of Anishnaabeg is \"First\" or \"Original-Peoples\". Another definition - possibly reflecting a traditionalist\'s viewpoint with a certain moral dimension - refers to \"the good humans\", or good people, meaning those who are on the right road/path given to them by the Creator or Gichi-Manidoo (Great Spirit). The Ojibwe scholar, linguist and author Basil Johnston, who explains the name in a creationist context, states that its literal translation is \"Beings Made Out of Nothing\", or \"Spontaneous Beings\", since they had been created by divine breath and were made up of flesh and blood and a soul or spirit - instead of rock, or fire, or water, or wind.[1]

Not all Anishinaabemowin speakers, however, call themselves Anishinaabeg. The Ojibwe people who moved to what are now the prairie provinces of Canada call themselves Nakawē(-k) and their branch of the Anishinaabe language, Nakawēmowin. (The French ethnonym for the group was the Saulteaux). Particular Anishinaabeg groups have different names from region to region.

Anishinaabe and Anishinini distribution around 1800

There are many variant spellings of the Anishinaabe name, depending on the transcription scheme and also on whether the name is singular or plural. Therefore, different spelling systems may indicate vowel length or spell certain consonants differently (Anishinabe, Anicinape); meanwhile, variants ending in -eg/ek (Anishinaabeg, Anishinabek) come from an Algonquian plural, while those ending in an -e come from an Algonquian singular.

The name Anishinaabe is realised as Nishnaabe in some parts of North America, most prominently among the Odawa. The cognate Neshnabé comes from the Potawatomi, a people long allied with the Odawa and Ojibwe in the Council of Three Fires. Identified as Anishinaabe, but not part of the Council of Three Fires, are the Nipissing, Mississaugas and Algonquin.

Closely related to the Ojibwe and speaking a language mutually intelligible with Anishinaabemowin (Anishinaabe language) are the Oji-Cree (also known as \"Severn Ojibwe\"). Their most common autonym is Anishinini (plural: Anishininiwag) and they call their language Anishininiimowin.

Among the Anishinaabeg, the Ojibwe collectively call the Nipissings and the Algonquins Odishkwaagamii (those who are at the end of the lake), while those among the Nipissings who identify themselves as Algonquins call the Algonquins proper Omàmiwinini (those who are downstream).\"
