Margaret August

Margaret August is a contemporary, two-spirit Coast Salish artist from Shíshálh Nation, born in 1983 on the traditional, unceded Lekwungen and Wasanec territories. The ancestral power animal Skw’etu’?—Raven in the Shashishalhem language—deeply influences Margaret’s work. Known as the light-bringer who brought the sun into the world, Raven represents transformation, fluidity, and the teaching of life lessons through mystical shape-shifting.

Margaret’s artistic development began early through singing and music, alongside traditional Native art training with Butch Dick. Creative influences include Susan Point, lessLIE, Chris Paul, Luke and John Marston, and Maynard Johnny Jr.

These varied art experiences, as well as ancestral gifts have shaped Margaret to better understand life’s direction. Margaret’s overall philosophy as a contemporary Native artist is to present the community with art that creates change and a sense of hope.
