Wapiski-Miskanahk Iskwew (Suzanne Karhiio Dzus) has been leading conversation on truth and colonization for more than two decades.
Proudly Indigenous
Miskanahk is a Cree Mohawk woman from the Michel First Nation with a passion for advocacy.
She began her work 20 years ago as a volunteer working to bring forward the issues around the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. Upon moving to Mohkinstis, she started the Memorial March for Missing and Murdered Women in 2007, which has since grown exponentially and continues to raise awareness around the lack of protection for Indigenous Women.
Miskanahk in the News
“Longtime advocate Suzanne Karhiio Dzus is urging the Calgary police force to expand its community policing initiatives with Indigenous residents as a meaningful step towards reconciliation.”

“We are not asking for the police to be defunded. We are asking for more funding for this very successful program. More Indigenous liaison officers would be a meaningful step towards reconciliation and towards building trust between police and Indigenous people.”
