Maxine Noel

Maxine Noel (born 1946) is a Canadian First Nations artist from the Santee and Oglala heritage. She was given the Sioux name Ioyan Mani ("walk beyond").

Her work is included in the collections of the Canadian Museum of History, the University of Western Ontario, the Canadian Native Arts Foundation in Toronto and the Whetung Ojibwa Centre.

Noel's work, "Not Forgotten," was made to honor and remember the missing and murdered indigenous women, and she donated royalties to the Native Women's Association of Canada. "Not Forgotten" was used in a 2019 campaign along British Columbia's Highway of Tears by the group, Artists Against Racism, in response to the final report for the inquiry missing and murdered indigenous girls and women along Highway 16.

In 2018, she was named to the Order of Canada.
