The images can also be identified as X-ray Vision.   The inspiration for these images relies on Ojibwe clans and stories.  The artist usually paints images with a heavy black outline and paints what is felt or perceived inside animals (or people).  What is painted inside the animal or person represents a kind of spirit, a source of powers.
