Youth Engagement Lead

Angel Brant (she/her) was born in British Columbia and was given the name Kôna. Since being adopted, her heart lies with the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte - Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory and identifies as Cree and Mohawk. She currently lives on the unceded traditional territories of the xwməθkwəy̓ əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

Angel focuses her efforts on advocating for the recognition of Indigenous communities' knowledge systems, art forms, and climate justice within so-called Canada. Angel works with Indigenous muralists to promote their work; she's an Indigenous history tour guide; and a communications consultant working with Elders, Knowledge Keepers, community leaders, and youth on major land resource projects in the GTA. She looks forward to welcoming all youth voices and presence by creating a safe space to spark real change grounded in movement building, land-based teachings, and optimism.

Her hobbies and interests include reading, hiking, camping, concerts, crafting, and spending time with her partner, friends, and family.
