tânisi, Garrick Schmidt nitisiyihikâson, Katepwa ohci nîya. I am a Michif from Treaty 4 territory and grew up in the Qu’Appelle Valley. I attended the University of Regina and obtained my Bachelor of Education degree through SUNTEP Regina.
I have taught and developed land-based programs and curriculum in the southern part of Saskatchewan over the last three years working with Ochapowace First Nation as well as White Bear First Nations. I have also worked with the Métis Nation of Saskatchewan where I have facilitated seasonal camps. I have worked with the Ministry of Education in Saskatchewan presenting with ISSI presentations on innovation in Land Based Learning and also assisting in curriculum writing.
You can find me on the water paddling, fishing or hunting during the summer and fall months and on the back of the runners on a dog sled in the winter time!
I am excited to be working with kâniyâsihk Culture Camps and the Cree Immersion School!
My name is Meagan Anishinabie, I am Oji-Cree from Sandy Lake First Nation, ON in Treaty 5 Territory. I attended Algonquin College in Ottawa and obtained a Diploma in Police Foundations. I also completed Indigenous programs with the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) such as the Raven Program and the Aboriginal Leadership Opportunity Year (ALOY) at the Royal Military College (RMC) in Kingston.
I joined the CAF full-time in 2016 and started my career as a Military Police officer. I retired from the military in 2022 to pursue my passion in Land Based learning and sewing. I began sewing in my teenage years and learned from nohkomak Minda and Katie. I create traditional clothing such as moccasins, mukluks, gauntlets and contemporary style earrings with traditional designs. I am also an Artist with the Manitobah Mukluks Storyboot program.
Though I enjoyed my time in the military, I felt disconnected from the land and my people. I attended my first Hide Camp at kâniyâsihk Culture Camps and immediately felt welcomed. I am beyond grateful and excited for this new chapter to be apart of the kâniyâsihk team.
