Nancy is the Director of Indigenous Resources at Unlimited Potential Community Services
Nancy’s first home is on the Sucker Creek First Nation in Treaty 8 territory and she is 1 of 12 siblings. Her father was Cree from Treaty 8 and her mother is Metis from Treaty 6 territory. Nancy is married and has 9 children, 3 biological, 2 stepchildren, and 4 who came to them through foster care. Nancy is a grandmother of 5. Her second home is on an acreage near Ardrossan, AB. Nancy is a daughter, sister, auntie, mother, wife, colleague, and friend – she is nehiyaw – Cree.
Nancy has a background in child and youth care, crisis intervention, and foster care. She is a certified dog trainer and managed a reputable breeding program of Old English Bulldogges with her husband for 16 years until 2018.
Nancy plays the guitar, banjo, and mandolin and has a small business of primitive country painting designs. Nancy, at an early age, was a gifted athlete. Her passion for fastball, volleyball, and badminton continued to this day. She enjoys bluegrass music, gardening, horseshoes, bowling, ax throwing, camping and especially spending time with her family.
Nancy prefers to be called a wicihtasow (we ci ta sue) – who is a person who helps. She believes in the wahkotowin (wa koh to win) laws of being related to all living beings and relational accountability and wicihotowin (wee ci hit o win) that we are all here to help one another.
Nancy is guided by many Elders and Knowledge Keepers and she believes in walking with Creator and her Ancestors. Collectively, she helps serve our Indigenous peoples, to connect to their family, cultural identity, land, ceremonies, Knowledge Keepers/Elders, and their nation’s un-ceded or ceded territory or settlement.
Nancy’s team consists of Indigenous Engagement Specialists and a Cultural Advisor. Together, they walk softly, side by side, with those they serve while sharing their Indigenous ways of knowing, doing, and being.
