Tekeyla Friday – Tekeyla Friday is a proud Michif (Métis) woman whose ancestral heritage extends back to the Louis Riel and Gabriel Dumont Rebellion. Her Great-Great Grandfather, Henri Dumont served as a messenger between the two Michif leaders. After the rebellion, her Great-Great Grandfather moved his family to Montana, USA where her Great Grandfather, William Damion Dumont and his sister, Mary were enrolled in an “Indian Boarding” school. William and two other Métis boys escaped and made their way back home. Later the Dumont family migrated back to the Cypress Hills area, settling on a farm at Fort Walsh, SK.

Tekeyla is Métis artist, storyteller and author. Like her ancestors, she is a creative and cleaver person, engineering cultural programs that connect youth to hands on activities such as Métis STEM/STEAM, Métis puppet shows and oral storytelling. Tekeyla enjoys telling stories through Stop-motion animation and Claymation art as well. She produced her first book, “Prince Prickly Spine,” and is working on the second book in that series, “Prince Steed.” You can check-out her website for more information tekeylafridaystudiospublishing.com
