About the Artist
Migwan is Don Bonner, son of Douglas and Carol Bonner. He is a member of the Shabot Obaadjiwan First Nation, part of the Bear Clan of the Algonquin Nation. He uses multiple methods of creating contemporary art that draws inspiration from traditional styles.Â
Don is grateful to the People of Snuneymuxw, on whose traditional lands he currently lives.  He is grateful for the honour of working with local Elders and Knowledge Keepers in the pursuit of developing his art. Don finds inspiration from his mentors, and the natural surroundings of the west coast. His art is especially inspired from participating in Tribal Journeys since 2017.
