Ahnii boozhii, Wabanong Nimpkii Kwe Ndiznikas. (Hello my spirit name is Eastern Thunder Woman)

My name is Candace Day Neveau from Serpent River first Nation and Baawaatingnong (Sault Ste Marie).

My interests are Family, motherhood, culture, rain and thunderstorms, public speaking, nature and all of the natural medicines, social entrepreneurship, edge walking, trying new things, social experimenting, community arts, dreams, the spirit world, the great unknown, laughing at stuff, decolonization.

First things first I am a single Mom of two and I am very proud of my sons they are my drive and what makes me do what I do because I want to make their lives better.

I want to deliver innovative effective education geared towards all young Indigenous people in a way that will speak to them. Using oral history and a land based focus that creates a cultural understanding and a sense of belonging and Nationhood. Using techniques that I have been learning from all of the different workshops and training that I have participated in doing public speaking and facilitating. The biggest part of my practice is spirit and everything I have learned from my culture and ceremonies that help ground me and taught me how to walk in the two different worlds of Anishinaabe worldview and current colonial reality. Im a big dreamer who is aiming at the stars to help heal my people.
