About Me

My name is Cherry Smiley, and I come from the Nlaka’pamux/Thompson and Dine’/Navajo Nations. I live as a visitor on Coast Salish Territories in Vancouver BC. I am a member of the Aboriginal Women’s Action Network and I work occasionally at a rape crisis centre and transition house. I have studied at universities in Australia and Scotland, and I currently go to school for Film, Video, & Integrated Media. I have a lot to learn and am lucky to have many teachers around me.
