Teresa Marshall

Teresa Marshall was born in 1962 in the town Truro, located in the province of Nova Scotia, Canada. She is a multimedia artist, which includes sculptures and installations. She also makes poetry and writes plays. She is Mi'kmaq and was raised on the Millbrook Reserve as well as on a military base. She was born into two different cultures: Mi'kmaq on her mother's side and Canadian on her father's. She is a member of the Millbrook First Nation. Her works show and describe the effects of racism and neocolonialism on the First Nations people. Coming from two different backgrounds, Marshall shows both the indigenous and non-native perspectives of her native community and how they were affected. Provided by Wikipedia
