Maria Campbell is a Métis leader, playwright, author, community organizer,
grandmother, and much much more! She is most well known for her
autobiographical book entitled *Halfbreed* published in 1973. This work has
been pinpointed by many as foundational in its inspiration of later
Aboriginal authors and artists. Janice Acoose has noted that “many
contemporary Indigenous women …look to Maria Campbell’s text as the one
which encouraged them to speak out, name their oppressors, and re-claim
their selves”.
Much of Maria's work has an irresistible ability to reach through pain and
trauma to expose the resilience, beauty and strengths of Métis people,
families, communities and culture. We are so honoured to have her as an
OPIRG Carleton colloquium speaker!
