Maria Campbell

Maria Campbell, OC, Cree-Métis writer, Elder, playwright, filmmaker, scholar, teacher (born 26 April 1939 in Park Valley, SK). Elder Maria Campbell’s memoir Halfbreed (1973) is regarded as a foundational piece of Indigenous literature in Canada for its attention to the discrimination, oppression and poverty that some Métis women (and Indigenous peoples, in general) experience in Canada. Campbell has authored several other books and plays, and she has directed and written scripts for a number of films. As an artist, Campbell has worked with Indigenous youth in community theatre and advocated for the hiring and recognition of Indigenous peoples in the arts. She has mentored many Indigenous artists during her career.
