Biographical history
Marie-Louise Perron was born on her grandfatherʼs land in Saskatchewan. She is a descendant of the Red River Métis and early French newcomers. She holds Education (1967) and Fine Arts (1968) degrees from the University of Saskatchewan, and a Masterʼs degree in Ethnology from Laval University. As an educator, visual artist, author, archivist, and public servant at the Provincial Archives of Saskatchewan, Library and Archives Canada, and the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages, Perron has maintained and promoted the traditions and cultures of Indigenous peoples. In 2016, Perron was elected councillor to the Ottawa Region Métis Council. Perron is a participating artist in the Walking With Our Sisters project. Walking With Our Sisters is an installation art project of 1,700 pairs of moccasin tops or “vamps” commemorating and representing an estimated 824 Aboriginal women and girls who have been murdered or gone missing in Canada since 1961.
