The author discusses six compositions she created between 2013 and 2021. In the process she gained insight into her mixed heritage, the meaning of “Métis,” and the complicated relationships she and her family have with their heritage and living at the intersection of settler and Indigenous values. Observing Canada’s political landscape and issues facing Indigenous peoples, the author comments on the current Red River Métis court fight over rights and identity. The creative process enables her to explore the personal effects of colonialism, find her voice, and heal her wounds.
