The Indigenous Advisory Council

At SC-CC, we want to become more diverse, better serve the needs of Indigenous storytellers, and increase the knowledge and interaction between non-Indigenous and Indigenous storytellers. To meet these goals, on the initiative of Indigenous tellers, we have formed an Indigenous Advisory Council (IAC). Our current primary goal is to encourage more participation by Indigenous tellers throughout Canada.

At this time, two Indigenous tellers, Marie-Louise Perron and Louise Profeit-LeBlanc are kindly serving on the council.  Louise lives in Wakefield, Quebec. She is a member of Nacho Nyak Dun First Nation and originally from Mayo, in northeastern Yukon territory. Marie-Louise lives in Ottawa. She is a descendant of Red River Métis and early French newcomers, is active in the Ottawa Métis community, is past Chair of the Ottawa Region Métis Council. and is a Metis Story Keeper.

The IAC is open-ended, and hopes to evolve to include the three segments of Indigenous people of Canada: the Inuit, Metis and First Nations.

Please be in touch if you’d like to learn more!  We'd also love to hear how we can best serve you. Find us at iac@storytellers-conteurs.ca.

Note that we are not able to offer research assistance on Indigenous stories.
