MARIA MONTEJO (Deer clan) is an educator, motivational speaker, and consultant on Indigenous ways of life and practices. She is a member of the Mayan Popti community of Indigenous people who reside in the Xajla territory of Guatemala.
In addition to her formal schooling, Maria has been mentored from a young age by various Grandmothers, Medicine people and Traditional Teachers on Turtle Island and from Central and South America. Maria has had the privilege of being exposed and participating in various ceremonies and traditional cultural practices that have fueled her passion to develop programming that will bridge the Newtonian/allopathic model of wellness and an Indigenous/multi-dimensional approach.
Maria has facilitated the R.E.A.L. School Leadership and Native Wilderness Survival Skills Development program in various Indigenous communities throughout Canada, United States, San Lucas Guatemala and is currently working on running the program internationally. R.E.A.L. School is an Indigenous scientific based life skills program that uses interactive activities to guide participants through the 7C’s curriculum for the purpose of connecting them to their authentic self (spirit).
KAPWA COLLECTIVE is a group of Filipinx-Canadian artists, critical thinkers, and healers who work towards bridging narratives between the Indigenous and the Diasporic, and the Filipinx + the Canadian.
