About Kookum Barbara Bruce

Kookum Barbara is a citizen of the Métis Nation—Michif aen Otipemisiwak. Her beliefs of Indigenous traditional teachings are reflected in all her work. Her dedication to advancing the rightful place, recognition, and acknowledgement of the Two Spirit community, Indigenous women, and children are an integral part of her life.

About Elder Charlotte Nolan

Elder Charlotte is a 72-year-old Métis woman, parent to seven children, and grandparent to nine grandchildren. She’s a Sixties’ Scoop Survivor and Indian Day School survivor — she attended the Indian Day School for Roseau River Reserve and lived in various foster homes and a group home. Charlotte began her transition at 17, but returned to the closet due to racism, homophobia, and transphobia. She worked in construction until the 1990s and that experience gave her the ability to build anything from bridges to beautiful monuments. Charlotte left the construction industry in the 90s and moved into the social service field, where she dedicated the last 30+ years to protecting children and their families.
