“Once in a Lifetime” ~ Thomas B. Maracle
$700.00
Once In A Lifetime -For so long now he has been waiting for his once in a lifetime chance to prove his honour to his family and his clan. Having been born with the inability to hunt or to lend his physical strength where it’s needed, he has patiently been developing the ability the Creator blessed him with to cultivate that which grows. He has long had a feeling deep in his bones that one day his talent for coaxing food to grow in even the most hostile conditions will be required to keep his people alive during a time of great need. Although he will be sad to see this day come, he will also rejoice in being able to make a profound difference in the lives of all whom he loves.

Thomas B. Maracle – Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory
Born in Belleville, Ontario in 1949, Thomas B. Maracle is an award-winning stone sculptor and musician as well as a successful entrepreneur. A Native North American Mohawk, he is a citizen of the Six Nations and lives on the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory.
Thomas has been involved with Native art since his childhood and was deeply influenced by the combined skills of his artisan parents, who created arts and crafts for their Native gift store.
About his inspirational parents, whom Thomas credits for much of his success, he says, “My father, Andrew Maracle Sr., was an international lecturer and historian focussing on the folklore, culture, and customs of Native North Americans. My mother, Lillian Maracle, was a gifted artist with pencil and brush. With this combination of talents flowing in my veins, I have an inherent foundation on which to develop my own abilities as a sculptor.”
Native Renaissance, located near where he lives and creates, is the outcome of all of Thomas’s devotion to his Native culture and art. Its art gallery, which features Thomas’s outstanding and prolific creations, also includes original sculptures, paintings, and limited editions of other acclaimed North American Native artists.
The creations of Thomas are prized components of collections throughout Canada and many other parts of the world–including England, France, Germany, and the United States, just to name a few.
