Griffin Bjerke-Clarke

Griffin Bjerke-Clarke is a Red River Métis (Lizotte, Chouinard) author originally from Oskana (Regina), Saskatchewan, and living in Kjipuktuk (Halifax) with roots from Fort Vermilion, Alberta. From the time he was a small child, Griffin enjoyed making up stories and has always used them to navigate the world; before he could read or write, he would tell his narratives to anyone who would listen. Having grown up distant from his ancestry, Griffin aims to return to his roots, become fluent in Cree and Michif, and return to his community as an educator. Griffin is studying English at the University of King’s College. Griffin is a registered citizen of the Manitoba Métis Federation.
