Jeffery’s Story
My name is Jeffrey (Red) George (Ma-Mi-No-ga-boo) and I am an Ojibway artist. I was born in the year of 1980 and come from an artistic family. My mother, grandmother, uncle, brother and sister, and cousins are all artists (painters, sculptors, crafters, beaders, and musicians).
I had a difficult time in my early years, growing up on the lands of the First Nation of Kettle and Stoney Point, situated along the shores of Lake Huron in Ontario, Canada. However, over the years, I have overcome a variety of challenges that have impacted me.
