Loïk Raymond, aka Inniminan, is a two-spirit Innu artist from Uashat now living in Treaty 1 (Winnipeg, Manitoba). He makes handmade traditional beadwork with a contemporary twist. Often designs are not planned; he lets the beads guide the way. He uses his art to reconnect with the land, ancestors and tradition. He wants to share his pride as an Innu with the world. He can only create when he is feeling positive thoughts as he believes his energy is transferred into his beadwork.
His work has been sent to Spain, Japan and across North America. He has been a beadworker for approximately five years. Tshishpeuatetau Innu-aimun mak Innu-aitun. (Protect Innu language and culture.)
