I was born here upon my ancestral homeland of Turtle Island[2] which is known as North America.[edit]

My Father was Anishinaabe from the Pine Creek First Nation[3] on the Sacred shores of Lake Winnipegosis[4].[edit]

My Father's Mothers original namesake is Moosetail.[edit]


My Mother is Cree from Sapotaweyak Cree Nation[5] in what is now Northern Manitoba, Canada[edit]

I receive great fulfillment walking the Path of Native Spirituality[6] within the Light of the Great Spirit.[edit]
