Elder Mae Louise Campbell

Born in 1934 into a family that lived off the land in northern Manitoba, Elder Mae Louise Campbell grew up rooted in natures’s cycles and Indigenous cultural values. For more than 16 years, Mae Louise was the Keeper of Grandmother Moon Lodge, a healing lodge in rural Manitoba that served over a thousand Indigenous women. Today she is Elder in Residence at the University of Manitoba’s Faculty of Social Work and Red River College.
