Aanii friend!
My name is Bridget, but my Anishinaabe name is Nimkiinagwaagankwe.
I’m Bear Clan from Kettle and Stony Point First Nation.
I'm an Anishinaabe author and illustrator raised on Kettle and Stony Point First Nation, a community along the shore of Lake Huron: the traditional territory of my people. I currently live in London, ON with my wonderful family.
I am passionate about positive self-image, lifelong learning, visual storytelling and positive Indigenous representation for children and youth. My work is heavily inspired by the natural world, my ancestral language and the journey of parenthood.
