Bruce Lajeunesse

Bruce is of mixed Cree/Coast Salish ancestry. Born in Burnaby BC in 1969. Bruce has lived throughout BC his whole life. Drawn by his fascination with Northwest Coast art design, and desire to learn more about his culture, in 2010 he moved to Vancouver Island and currently resides in Campbell River. He started carving in 2010 after meeting several very talented carvers who offered their teachings to him. He developed a deeper understanding of the art and his culture. Bruce loves to watch a piece of wood being transformed in his hands into a finished piece of artwork.

Museum at Campbell River respectfully acknowledges the Liǧʷiɫdax̌ʷ First Nation, on whose traditional lands we work to preserve, interpret and share the collective human history of North Vancouver Island. The Liǧʷiɫdax̌ʷ First Nation is comprised of the We Wai Kai, Wei Wai Kum and Kwiakah First Nations. Our closest neighbors are the Coast Salish Xwemalhkwu, Klahoose and K’ómoks First Nations.

These nations have close connections to the land where Campbell River is located today.
