Suzanne McLeod is Anishinaabe-ikwe from the Sagkeeng First Nation, Manitoba. She completed her PhD in Native American Art History at the University of New Mexico, and is currently an Assistant Professor in Indigenous Art History at the School of Art, University of Manitoba. Her present research focusses on dismantling colonial tropes that have defined Indigenous people since the time of the Renaissance; this includes the evolution of stereotype as evidenced within Western art, the fallout from the Doctrine of Discovery on Indigenous populations, and the rewriting of history through the power and lens of Indigenous narrative, art and aesthetics.
