About

Hello,

My name is Shimmering Water Woman. My English name is Amber. I come from the Deer clan. I currently reside in small town Ontario but my home is a nearby First Nation community.

My Great-Great Grandmother was a medicine woman, my Great Grandmother was a Residential School Survivor and my Grandmother attended Indian Day School and she is survivor of colonizer induced trauma.

I am, as all Indigenous peoples are today, the survivor of genocide. I stand and breathe the pride of Indigenous resilience.

I am here to tell my journey of self-discovery that turned into self-love.
