Indigenous Artist

âpihtawikosisâniskwêw (Métis/mixed-settler) multidisciplinary artist, educator, Somatic Experiencing Practioner (SEP™) and vocalist, Moe Clark (she/they) is a 2Spirit singing thunderbird. Moe was born and raised in Treaty 7 (Calgary) and is a proud member of the Métis Nation of Alberta, who currently resides as a guest in Tio'tiá:ke/ Mooniyang/ Montréal (QC). A dedicated nêhiyawêwin (Plains Cree language) and Michif (Métis language) learner, Moe collaborates intimately with Indigenous Elders and knowledge keepers to advance language resurgence through song-based practices. She works across disciplines of vocal improvisation, land-based oskapêwis facilitation (ceremonial Elder apprenticeship), drum circle healing work, and performance creation, to co-create contexts that centre embodied knowledge, 2Spirit Indigenous resurgence, and healing through creative kinship.

As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP™) and creative arts facilitator Moe’s work in community reinforces collective liberation, healing and intergenerational transmission while supporting thriving futures for 2Spirit/Indigiqueer, Indigenous and other marginalized kin. They anchor 2S Michif-Plains Cree medicine wheel/wholism teachings, while reinforcing body-based practices as “land-back.” Trained in Vocal River practice with renowned vocalist, Rhiannon, Moe was both participant and co-pilot for “All the Way In” Training in 2013 and again in 2015. They are also a member of the murmuration’s cohort, with direction from Rhiannon and esteemed dancer Margie Gillis, a large-scale collaboration advancing vocal-movement improvisational practices in performance contexts. In 2025 Clark was awarded a Certificate of Excellence from the National Network Environment for Indigenous Health Research for her innovative Master’s work centring 2Spirit resurgence and healing through drum song practices. In 2024-2025 Clark was one of Concordia’s Social Justice Fellows for their graduate work.

Moe’s last solo album “Within” toured across North America and her collaborative video poem “nitahkôtân” won best Indigenous language music video at the ImagiNative film festival. Moe’s poem “committing a dream / pawâkan Palestine” won the 2024 Ian Ferrier Spoken Word Prize through the Quebec Writers’ Federation. Since 2017 they've hosted mâmawi musique, a weekly podcast on Espaces Autochtones, highlighting Indigenous music around the globe. Moe co-founded Weather Beings, a 2Spirit International performance collective with Mâori artist Victoria Hunt, examining intersections of Métis wâhkôhtowin and Mâori whakapapa (kinship systems) by asserting a critical position to reclaim, restore and rematriate feminine and queer knowledges into performance practices. Moe has performed the world over, including the Lincoln Centre (US), Sydney Opera House (AU) and Origins Festival in London (UK).
