Revelstoke-based Indigenous painter earns Governor General’s Literary Award

A Revelstoke-based First Nation artist with an eye for landscapes has been celebrated with one of Canada’s highest literary honours for her contribution to a children’s book about Indigenous knowledge-sharing.
Delreé Dumont, a member of Onion Lake Cree Nation north of Lloydminster, Sask., is the illustrator behind This Land Is a Lullaby.
The book, written in Plains Cree and also an English-Cree version, won the 2025 Governor General’s Literary Award for illustrated books
