Irvin Head, sculpting in his workshop in Cranberry Portage, Manitoba.

Irvin "Muskie" Robert Head (March 12, 1956–August 15, 2022) was a Cree and Métis sculptor from Cranberry Portage, Manitoba.[1]

Self-taught, he started carving in the late 1990s using hand tools[1] and worked with a variety of materials including wood, granite, marble, antler and soapstone.[1] [2]

His work has been featured internationally, including at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.[3] As lead artist, he oversaw the creation of “Grand Entry” — nine ravens in a circle, placed at the entrance of the Olympic Curling venue.[2]

His final piece, the Every Child Matters memorial art project [4] was unveiled at the Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba on September 30, 2022.[5][6][7]
