Ancestral Portraits cover

Ancestral Portraits is a retrospective of the art and life of Frederick R. McDonald, one of Alberta's most exciting Indigenous artists working today, and a celebration of a rich Cree heritage. With one foot in the world of his ancestral peoples and the other in the realm of contemporary Canadian society, McDonald paints from a unique perspective and uses his art to communicate the culture and spirituality of his ancestors.

Ancestral Portraits is a journey into the creative world of one of Canada's up and coming Indigenous artists.

Vivid . . . [McDonald's] voice and brush are worth heeding. Francis W. Kaye, University of Toronto Quarterly
