- Bio
-
T’áncháy Redvers [she/they] is a Dene/Métis two-spirit social justice warrior, writer, creator, speaker, and multidisciplinary performer belonging to Deninu K’ue First Nation in Treaty 8 territory. With a BA in International Development Studies, Certificate in Civic Engagement & Global Citizenship, and a Master of Indigenous Social Work, she has been nationally and internationally recognized for her work and advocacy, featured in the likes of the Toronto Star, Buzzfeed, Globe and Mail, ETalk, TEDx, and more. At the age of 21, T’áncháy and her brother founded We Matter, a national Indigenous-led campaign and non-profit dedicated to Indigenous youth hope and life promotion. We Matter has become an international model for Indigenous youth life promotion efforts, garnering the Redvers siblings the Lawson Foundation's Emerging Leaders Award and a Governor General’s Meritorious Service Decoration – the highest honour in Canada.
Her writing has been published in numerous creative, anthology and academic publications, and her debut book of poetry, Fireweed, was released in 2019 by Kegedonce Press. In addition to the over 100 talks T’áncháy has delivered across Canada, the U.S., and Australia, she is a touring drag king and performance artist with performances spanning stages such as Pride Toronto and the Fierce Queer International Burlesque Festival. Her alternate persona, Mx.Wolverine, was featured on CBC Gem’s Season 3 of Canada’s A Drag. With a passion for exploring and unpacking topics such as intergenerational trauma, non-profit work, gender and sexuality, youth and queer empowerment, and positive representation, her approach is one that aims to decolonize and indigenize identity, mental health and healing. Having spent considerable time living, travelling, speaking, and working with Indigenous communities internationally and across Canada, T’áncháy considers herself a nomad just like her ancestors.
