Wabusk Skweow Kahetapit Neegn Nipeek Ohscheh, which translates to "Polar Bear Woman/White Bear Woman Who is Looking Ahead from the Water," is a Lenaapeew/Anishinaabe woman from the Bear Clan. She is a member of the Elunaapeewii Lahkeewiit First Nations, Delaware Nation of the Thames, or Moraviantown. She is a proud mother of two sons and a grandmother to five grandchildren.
With over 24 years of collective experience, she works to uplift traditional cultural teachings, ceremonies, and practices as a Wholistic Indigenous practitioner, educator, wisdom-seeker, advocator and helper. She utilizes decolonizing Indigenous practices to support the resurgence of Indigenous ways of seeing, feeling, knowing, and being. Her approach is rooted in ancestral wisdom, emphasizing intergenerational knowledge, storytelling, personal experiences, and land-based education.
