Nicholas de Grandmaison's contribution to Canadian art is as a visual historian of Canada's indigenous cultures of southern Alberta. J. Russell Harper notes that de Grandmaison "... found in them the traits of superior beings who belonged among the world's aristocratic peoples and held their heads in haughty pride". De Grandmaison took many spring and summer trips to different reservations to execute portraits in pastels.
