My name is Lindsay Katsitsakatste Delaronde, I am a Kanienke’haka woman from

Kahnawake. For the past 13 years I have been a grateful, active and contributing

guest on Lekwungen territory, Victoria, BC. I hold a Masters degree in Fine Arts and

a Master of Arts in the Indigenous Communities Counseling Psychology Program

from the University of Victoria. I held the position as the first Indigenous artist in Residence from 2017-2019 and currently the Indigenous Resurgence Coordinator

for the Fine Arts Department at UVIC. My areas of research are Contemporary and

Traditional First Nations visual art, Indigenous theatre and performance practices,

expressive arts therapy examining decolonial methodologies in art. My artistic

practice focuses on Indigenous theatre, land-based/site-speci*c performance art,

collaborative practice, cultural resurgence and social/political activism through the

arts. My artistic media include photography, performance/theatre, movement/dance

and visual studio arts.
