Anishinaabe culture is traditionally passed through generations with songs and stories. But when the Canadian government introduced the Indian Act in 1876 and created residential schools, Indigenous people were barred from practicing their religion and culture, leaving a gap in these oral stories.

Research Interests

I pursue an understanding of culture and history through the stories and songs of the Anishinaabeg. Using innovative new technologies, the digitization and repatriation of early audio recordings fuels cultural growth and expansion at Saugeen First Nation.
