Jadeon Rathgeber, known as Medicine Bear (Maskihkiy Muskwa), is a First Nations artist, storyteller, and grassroots advocate born and raised in a large northern Manitoba First Nations community. A proud descendant of Wâpusk-Okimâw (the White Bear Chief) and Legendary Birch Bark Biting Artist Halfmoon Woman.

Jadeon is a band member of Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation. Jadeon’s journey has been one of profound transformation — from surviving a life marked by gangs and addiction to reclaiming his cultural roots through art, ceremony, and advocacy. His work uplifts authentic Indigenous traditions, reflects a matriarchal worldview, and calls attention to the urgent environmental and social justice issues facing Turtle Island.

At Medicine Bear Arts, we pride ourselves on quality and craftsmanship. Our fine jewelry line is a precious possession, designed and crafted to last a lifetime and for generations to come. Our goal is to share authentic First Nations artwork with the world. Through our stories, art, and history, we offer a glimpse into our beautiful culture and way of life.

We are based in the Sinixt Territory, located in the Kootenay region of British Columbia, Canada.
