Aiyyana Maracle fonds

Aiyyana Maracle was a multi-disciplinary artist, scholar, educator, story-crafter and storyteller. For half a century, Aiyyana was actively involved in the merging of Ogwehoweh art and culture into the Euro-centric world and consciousness. For 20+ years she sought that same inclusion for herself and other gender-variant folks by offering an alternate framework to the prevalent Euro-centric view of gender. She’s believed to be the first Indigenous person to be awarded the John Hirsch Prize and she is the author of the book Chronicle of a Transformed Woman (2000). This collection includes materials related to Maracle's performance art, writing, visual art, and activism, as well as photographs and correspondence.
