Great Women from our First Nations

A First Nations Book for Young Readers

This new title in the First Nations Series for Young Readers profiles ten outstanding women leaders. They include Suzanne Rochon-Burnett, a Métis broadcaster, journalist and First Nations advocate, winner of the Governor General’s Award for her work on Native Women’s rights; Susan Aglukark, Inuit singer and songwriter; and Emily Pauline Johnson—Canada’s first published First Nations poet.

All of these trailblazing women are role models who have raised the profile of indigenous culture in North America.
