Lloyd R. Caibaiosai

Lloyd Caibaiosai was born in 1947 on Sagamok (Spanish River) Indian Reserve on the north shore of Lake Huron in Ontario. He studied fine arts, sociology and psychology at the University of Windsor for at least two years in the late 1960s. Following his studies, he worked in several positions supporting Indigenous youth. After marrying, he and his wife moved to Piikani (Brocket) Reserve south of Calgary. In 1972, he was commissioned to design murals for a hotel built by the Sawridge Cree First Nation in Slave Lake, Alberta. Tragically, Caibaiosai died in a car accident in 1975.
