Patrick Hunter Collection

About Patrick Hunter

Patrick Hunter is a 2 Spirit Ojibwe artist best known for his vibrant paintings in the Woodland Art tradition. His work appears in private and corporate collections across North America, including RBC, BMO, West Elm, Staples, eBay, CTV, and the Chicago Blackhawks. “There’s an Indigenous story of people, culture, and rich history that I’m trying to share with Canadians through my art”, says Hunter. Our collaboration with Patrick Hunter brings that vision to one of Canada’s most iconic forms: the canoe paddle.

This exclusive collection features four limited-edition paddle designs inspired by the land, wildlife, and spirit of the country we all call home. More than décor, each paddle transforms a timeless Canadian object into a meaningful work of art for your cottage, cabin, home, or office. “When I paint, I look into my subject matter to not only see its inner composition, but also its spiritual side”, says Hunter, whose artistic journey was inspired by Norval Morrisseau. A portion of proceeds supports Hunter’s youth workshop initiatives, helping inspire new generations to build confidence, creativity, and connection through art.

“Seeing how people react to what I create brings me the greatest joy and drives me to continue growing as an artist and a voice for Indigenous culture”, says Hunter. “I look forward to making new acquaintances through my art as I continue on my creative journey”. Own a piece that celebrates Indigenous creativity, Canadian identity, and craftsmanship with purpose. View Media Coverage >

The Patrick Hunter Canoe Paddle Collection is a limited edition reproduction series with only 300 paddles being made in each design—once sold they're gone! The paddles are made from locally sourced cherry wood, engraved with Hunter’s feather motif and features one of four designs executed in the artist’s signature Woodland style. Each paddle is number stamped on the handle and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Ideal for display in cottage, cabin or home. A portion of the proceeds will go to Hunter’s workshop initiative where he provides new generations the confidence they need to pursue their own creative paths.

Maple Leaf Ininaatigobag

In Ojibwe tradition, maple trees hold deep cultural significance. Stories tell of maple sugar as a gift from the Great Spirit and an important source of nourishment.

Patrick Hunter’s Maple Leaf paddle pays tribute to those teachings while reimagining a symbol that would later become cherished by Canadians across the country. A powerful meeting of Indigenous tradition and national identity.

Feather Miigwan

A feather is considered an honourable gift from the Creator, symbolizing respect, connection, and the relationship between the holder, the spirit world, and the bird from which it came.

For Patrick Hunter, the feather is a recurring motif throughout his work. It appears here as the central design and is also engraved on the throat of every paddle in the collection.

Hawk Binesi

Patrick Hunter’s Hawk paddle captures that spirit in motion, expressing the bird’s commanding presence and energy in flight through his signature Woodland style.

Turtle Mikinaak

The turtle holds special meaning in Ojibwe teachings, representing truth, ancestry, wellness, and long life.

Patrick Hunter’s Turtle paddle reflects that symbolism through a vibrant shell of green tiles—a reminder of our connection to the natural world and our reliance on living things to sustain us.
