Made by Medicine Bear Arts
Jadeon Rathgeber, known as Medicine Bear (Maskihkiy Muskwa), is a First Nations artist, storyteller, and grassroots advocate born and raised in a large northern Manitoba First Nations community. A proud descendant of Wâpusk-Okimâw (the White Bear Chief) and Legendary Birch Bark Biting Artist Halfmoon Woman.
Jadeon is a band member of Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation. Jadeon’s journey has been one of profound transformation — from surviving a life marked by gangs and addiction to reclaiming his cultural roots through art, ceremony, and advocacy. His work uplifts authentic Indigenous traditions, reflects a matriarchal worldview, and calls attention to the urgent environmental and social justice issues facing Turtle Island.
The raven is a very mischievous animal, and he is also a messenger. The raven is one of the most intelligent birds in the animal kingdom. This design represents two partners coming together who will be connected for life. They are playful and have a good sense of humor. The heart in between the ravens represents a strong bond for life.
