Marie-Josée Tardif

In 2007, Elders of the Algonquin Nation invited former journalist and news anchor MARIE-JOSÉE TARDIF to become a Sacred Pipe Carrier, an honour that would entail a lifelong commitment to the study of Anishinaabe Traditional Medicine and culture. In addition to sitting on several international committees, Grandmother Marie-Josée is the co-founder of the Dominique Rankin Foundation and Kina8at, two organizations dedicated to the preservation of Indigenous traditions.
