Leah Marie Dorion
Leah Marie Dorion is a Métis artist raised in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Canada. A teacher, painter, filmmaker, and published writer, Leah views her Métis heritage as providing her with a unique bridge for knowledge between all people.
An instructor at the Gabriel Dumont Institute in Prince Albert, Leah has degrees in Native Studies and Education. She has numerous creative projects to her credit including academic papers for the Royal Commission of Aboriginal Peoples, a children’s book, gallery showings of her art works, and numerous video documentaries that showcase Métis culture and history.
Leah’s paintings honor the spiritual strength of Aboriginal women and the sacredness of femininity. Leah believes that women play a key role in passing on vital knowledge for all of humanity and that women are the first teachers of the next generation.
