About the Guest Educator

My name is Cleopatra, and I am an Indigenous and Egyptian artist and educator. My nation is Mohawks of Akwesasne, and I also have Anishinaabe ancestry — I proudly claim both. I lead educational workshops that introduce youth to Indigenous knowledge through hands-on learning. My goal is to create a safe, inclusive, and respectful learning environment that supports curiosity, creativity, and cultural appreciation.
