ranch along the western shores of Lake Winnipegosis. She honours
her Metis heritage by writing and publishing under her maiden name.

situations that she hopes will convey the way of life of the Metis
people in both a historical and contemporary context. Louis Riel

years at Duck Bay School in the community of Duck Bay, Manitoba.
