Allen Sapp was born on the Red Pheasant Reserve not far from North Battleford in 1929. He was a sickly child who suffered from meningitis. He began painting as a form of communication to compensate for his poor writing skills. His paintings were first sold at a Winnipeg department store and later at the Mendal Art Gallery in 1969. Today, Allen Sapp is a highly regarded Aboriginal artist.
