Fern Keeshig
(She/Her)

Fern Keeshig is a member of the Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation (Neyaashiinigmiing), located in Ontario along the large bluffs and shoreline of the beautiful Bruce Peninsula.

As a 2014 alumni from Algonquin College, Fern later went on to graduate from Carleton University with a bachelor’s degree in Cognitive Science in 2020. Being the youngest of six, she often refers to herself as a forever learner and a lover of film and photography.

Fern is deeply passionate about reconciliation and cultural revitalization for all Indigenous communities on Turtle Island. Through her work with the National Indigenous Economic Development Board, she hopes to amplify the successes of Indigenous Peoples from coast to coast to coast, while also challenging the oppressive programs and policies that are currently established. Fern wants to contribute to a world where all her relations can abundantly rejoice, unite and celebrate in prosperity on their own terms.
