About the Author

Kelsey Borgford est Nbisiing Nishnaabe, membre du clan de la Martre et de la famille Couchie. Elle réside actuellement dans la Première Nation de Nipissing, sur le territoire ancestral de son peuple. Elle puise son inspiration et sa volonté de réussir dans sa culture et sa famille.

Tessa Pizzale a grandi à North Bay, en Ontario. Elle adore créer des illustrations, des peintures et des pièces d’artisanat autochtone comme des ceintures cérémoniales en cuir. Sa nikawiy lui a appris la couture et elle a acquis en grande partie son savoir-faire en perlage auprès de sa kookum.
