On a Friday morning in a small Milton-Parc appartment, we gratefully interviewed Maïtée Labrecque-Saganash. Maïtée is an activist, author, animator, political figure and proud community member of Waswanipi First Nation. She grew up in Quebec city, but spent most of her summers connecting with community and the land where she feels most at home in Waswanipi, which is situated around the middle of Quebec. She now writes for The Nation magazine, which addresses Cree news. Her father, Romeo Saganash was a federal MP for the New Democratic Party in the Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou riding in northern Quebec, serving the party between 2011-2019. Beyond her writing and political work, Maïtée is actively involved in the wellness and advocacy for her nation, along with that of other Indigenous nations in Canada and around the world.
