About the Artist: Janan Sutherland is an artist with strong Canadian roots. Born in Northern Alberta to an Ojibwe mother and a Canadian father, he grew up moving between small towns in British Columbia and Ontario due to his father’s career as a mining engineer. After joining the navy, Janan continued to travel across Canada and eventually settled in Montreal, where he met and married his wife. Following his retirement from the navy, he and his family relocated to the Gatineau Hills in Val-des-Monts to enjoy the natural beauty of its freshwater rivers, lakes, and forested hills.
From a young age, Janan developed a passion for sketching, painting, and woodworking, inspired by the Indigenous art in his home. His artistic journey was further enriched by his introduction to Mark Anthony Jacobson, a renowned Woodland artist. By combining Jacobson’s detailed painting style with his own woodworking skills, Janan creates unique and beautiful wood inlay pieces. His interests also include canoeing, hiking with his family, fishing in Northern Ontario, and an annual deer hunting trip with his father. Janan collaborates with Mark Anthony Jacobson to blend his woodworking expertise with Jacobson’s Aboriginal art style, resulting in distinctive artworks crafted from natural materials.

More About Manitobah at Prairie Mall
As a young Métis entrepreneur, Sean McCormick began Manitobah Mukluks with the vision of creating a successful company while benefiting his community. Today we continue that vision on a larger scale, as a global brand making a positive impact in Indigenous communities across North America.Sean McCormick spent much of his childhood in northern Manitoba and started selling leather and fur while still in high school. In 1990, he established a trading post where Indigenous artisans traded handmade mukluks and moccasins for tanned leather, skins and furs. During this time, Sean saw an even greater opportunity to connect members of his community to the growing demand for authentic Indigenous footwear. In 1996, after completing the Manitoba Aboriginal Youth Entrepreneurship Training Program, Sean created the business plan and framework that would become Manitobah. In 2008, Manitobah began global operations and today it is one of Canada’s fastest-growing companies, with employees and customers worldwide. Despite the rapid success and growth of the brand, Manitobah remains connected to its roots and continues to provide authentic, Indigenous-designed products that return value to Indigenous communities. Manitobah became a certified B Corporation in 2023, a designation that demonstrates a business meets high standards of verified performance, accountability, and transparency on factors from employee benefits and charitable giving to supply chain practices and input materials.
