Reisa Stone is a Ukrainian settler born in Treaty 1 territory, home of the Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) and Nehiyaw (Cree) original peoples of the territory of present-day southern Manitoba. She now gratefully lives on unceded lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen) territory.
She has volunteered with the UBCIC,
UNN, Wild Salmon Defenders Alliance, and Friends of the Nemaiah Valley.
This included media liason during the Mohawk Kanehsatà:ke/Oka and Lil'wat resistances.
She is a lifelong horsewoman and Nature defender, and was taught traditional Ukrainian animal communication by her grandmother. She is also a singer, artist, photographer, writer and former vet tech/wildlife rehabber. Reisa was on the team that repopulated white tailed deer in Winn-ippee (Winnipeg) by rehabbing orphaned fawns.
Fortunate to now earn a living in the Arts, and with certification from the Business Development Bank of Canada, Reisa's aim with this website is allyship in supporting the visibility and economic development of Indigenous artists.
