Canada's Federal Court confirmed that the original Sasquatch design was taken, reproduced, and sold knowingly without consent. This ruling comes after a gruelling 3 year undertaking to seek justice for Francis and his wife Brenda. Indigenous art theft is a serious problem, yet there are currently no special laws to prevent fraudulent Indigenous art from being created or sold in Canada. Our hope is that this judgement provides legal precedent against Indigenous art theft and appropriation to put us one step closer to stopping Indigenous art theft. Thank you to our network of artists, partners, and friends for their support throughout this process. Most of all, we want to acknowledge Francis for his courage in standing up against Indigenous art theft. We will continue to be vocal advocates for Indigenous artists and authentic Indigenous art.
