About

I'm an Anishinaabe artist​, writer, illustrator, and educator of the Bear Clan, originally from Wii-kwe-amikoong on Manitoulin Island, Ontario​, now living ​on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. My ​creative work honours the rich traditions of Eastern Woodland art, weaving together ancestral wisdom and contemporary expression through storytelling and vibrant imagery.

The Game Resonates Across Reconciliation Circles

“Almost all said they would get a copy for their group.”

— Shared following a presentation at the Our Lady of Guadalupe Circle in Saskatoon, a national gathering of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Catholic leaders in Canada

A Game with the Power to Transform

“Because of the many strategies employed and the breadth of knowledge imparted while playing—to both Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples—Corbiere’s invention has the potential of becoming an indispensable instrument in our collective effort towards decolonization and reconciliation.”

Nadia Myre, Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Art Practices, Concordia University

A Masterclass Game

"A masterclass in the Anishnaabe symbolism & storytelling! So much to take in."

— An anonymous Anishnaabe player
