Bio: Mary Ann’s Indigenous heritage comes through the Antoine Band from the unceded territory along the Ottawa River. Her family has longstanding roots in this Algonquin territory, and that connection to the land, water, and community has been carried through generations. Mary Ann’s Indigenous identity is an important part of who she is, and she values continuing to honour her family history, traditions, and connection to community.
