Phyllis Sinclair
My role as a performer, speaker/knowledge keeper is most satisfying as it is a means to inform, educate, and advocate for equality and inclusion for indigenous peoples in Canada. Utilizing cultural language, ways of knowing, legends and stories, and life experience, I demonstrate how these cultural artifacts form who we are; artifacts that make us different, yet unique so that we can learn to value these differences and move forward together under a positive and cooperative light. My goal is to reduce conscious, and more importantly, unconscious biases.
