Quin is an indigenous, two-spirit, non-binary human being promoting self-sovereignty through de/anti-colonial conversation. Raised in Edmonton, Alberta, Quin sought to create environments where indigenous thought and culture were taught as a way of life rather than an "alternative". Providing critical analysis of past and current systems, Quin seeks to provide youth both indigenous and non-indigenous alike with the tools to think globally about their purpose while acting locally. Quin has worked locally within Edmonton with several non-profit organizations and has worked with youth and communities abroad. Bringing the knowledge they have gained from travelling, they work to instill a sense of curiosity with those he meets to help create life-long learners. Quin does this by merging his ancestral teachings with their understandings as a professionally trained life coach, allowing people to access the tools they need to reclaim their rightful place in their communities.
