In the SCYAP Gallery… Kevin Wesaquate

October 29, 2019 by SCYAP

Kevin Wesaquate is a poet, painter, welder, spoken word artist and founder of the Indigenous Poet’s Society. Originally from Piapot First Nation Kevin has been an Indigenous Art Leader with SCYAP since 2009 and the Artist/Writer in-residence at Saskatchewan Polytechnic between 2013 and 2018. Kevin is passionate about combining written word, story telling and visual imagery to create dynamic artwork. His artworks are the foundations of the creative workshops Kevin facilitates for both youth and adults within Saskatoon and the wider community. Sahkihitok is a Cree word that means to love one another, and is a traditional teaching in story telling on Piapot First Nation. “Sahkihitok is a well known teaching from Piapot. All of our Elders say this commonly to the youth and to the community when ending speeches and stories. My grandfather has said this to our family many times that it became common and I had no idea that it was particular to our community, as I hadn’t heard other communities say this.” (Kevin Wesaquate, 2019)
