With over 30 years of experience, Oker has been instrumental in empowering Indigenous communities through a forward-thinking futurist approach. His expertise encompasses creative leadership, cultural exhibits, heritage event planning, Indigenous governance, and community economic development. Oker's innovative artistic endeavors amplify cultural narratives, infusing UNDRIP-based Indigenous art and music into community projects and commissioned works.
Deeply rooted in traditional knowledge, his artistic expressions artfully preserve the rich stories of the Beaver Peoples' heart and heritage, reflecting a lifetime of wisdom garnered from Elders. This website will cover events and offer a wide range of GO Art paintings, designs and products that showcase the beauty and richness of Indigenous culture. As authentic Indigenous art, Oker's unique one-of-a-kind GoArt embraces the spirit of Indigenous heritage and promotes cross-cultural learning and sharing of traditional knowledge.
Oker's Cross-Cultural Training workshops are designed to help individuals connect with the wisdom of Elders and to learn about recent projects such as the Tse'Kwa heritage site and KEMA Experiences. We believe in the power of dreams and the Dreamer's Philosophy. Join us on this journey of cultural heritage and let us show you the beauty and diversity of Indigenous traditions.
