Saskatchewan-based artist Leah Marie Dorion shares the backstory behind her various creative projects involving Métis culture and its relationship to family kinship, identity, and the land. She’ll discuss how she thinks about balancing her artistic impulses with her responsibility to offer accurate representations of Métis children and families. Leah Marie Dorion is a Métis writer and visual artist. Her artwork celebrates the strength and resilience of Indigenous women and families. A published children's book author and illustrator, she’s currently working to develop Métis early years resources for children and families.
