Beze (they/them) is from Aamjiwnaang First Nation. An Anishinaabe
community located in what is colonially known as Canada's 'Chemical valley'. As a two-spirit, queer, non-binary person they maintain their traditional knowledge of hide tanning and medicine harvesting as well as advocate for justice for the harms of ongoing colonialism. Particularly the environmental racism of the chemical and refining industries in their traditional territory.
