Chantal Rondeau is proudly First Nations and Acadian descent. She is a member of the Little Salmon Carmacks First Nation in the territory of the Yukon. She grew up in Whitehorse, Yukon two hours away from the traditional territory of the Northern Tutchone. Chantal Rondeau is a writer, a journalist, broadcaster and blogger. Chantal would love to bring forth Aboriginal issues to the Canadian and American forefront. A quote that Chantal admires and sets as one of her motto’s is from Louis Riel on July 4th 1885 “My people will sleep for one hundred years, but when they awake, it will be the artists who give them their spirit back.” Chantal plans on being one of these artists. var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
