Biographical notes
Erin Akerman is a member of the Georgian Bay Métis Community and an Assistant Professor in the English Department at Brock University.
Kristina Fagan Bidwell is a member of NunatuKavut Community Council and a Professor and Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Storytelling at the University of Saskatchewan. Our collaboration has been carried out over a pandemic, across time zones and technologies, and around major life moments. Throughout, we have drawn on Erin’s knowledge of the stories and histories of the Georgian Bay Métis, while relating them to broader national and academic contexts.
