Joane Cardinal-Schubert was born in Red Deer, Alberta in 1942. She attended the Alberta College of Art and Design as well as the University of Calgary. Early in her practice she began to weave her Kainaiwa ancestry and family history into her work, using a blend of Indigenous iconography with European techniques. Her practice eventually expanded into installation, text and performance, and became a form of activism, addressing the collective indigenous experience of colonialism and environmental destruction.
In 1985, Cardinal-Schubert was only the fourth woman to be admitted to the Royal Canadian Academy of Art. She received the Commemorative Medal of Canada in 2003 as well as the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal in 2005. In 2007 the National Aboriginal Achievement Foundation presented her with the Art Award and in 2017 a secondary school in Calgary was named after her, the second woman to receive this honour. Her work has been the subject of numerous solo and group exhibition shows including the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, the Vancouver Art Gallery, and the Canadian Museum of Civilization. A retrospective of her work was held at The Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery in 2014.
