Ruth Cuthand (born 1954) is a Canadian artist of Plains Cree and Scots ancestry.[1] She is considered an influential feminist artist of the Canadian prairies, and is lauded for her interpretation of racism and colonialism.[2] Her work challenges mainstream perspectives on colonialism and the relationships between settlers and Indigenous people in a practice marked by political invective, humour, and a deliberate crudeness of style.[3]
