Instrocor Bio: Tansi, My name is Apitah Kisikinew Piyesiw (Southern Thunderbird), known as Chantelle Gray in the Western World. I am Metis/Cree from Northern Alberta (Treaty 8). I am a Mother to 4, and an Auntie to many. I am also the founder and steward of Muskwa Medicine. I love to spend my time with my dogs, reading a good book, laughing so hard people can't help but join in, or being on the land visiting our plant relatives. Maskwa Medicine was created in 2022 and prides itself on continuing traditional Metis ways of trade, and practices on the belief that people, communities, and natural systems are all interconnected (Wahkotowin).
