Summary

"Belmore was born on March 22, 1960 in Upsala, Ontario, Canada and currently resides in Vancouver, BC. Author Jessica Bradley describes Belmore's adolescence as difficult, due to "the custom ingrained through the [Canadian] government imposed assimilation, she was sent to attend high school in Thunder Bay and billeted with a non-Native family." Bradley adds that as a result of her experience as an adolescent, notions of displacement and cultural loss are "reformed into acts or objects of reparation and protest [within her various works]."--Wikipedia, Jan.2012
"Belmore has always been clear that she is not "a traditionalist". She was raised rather as a "small-town Indian" in Sioux Lookout, which is in the Annishinabe Territory of Northern Ontario."--Page 12. Native or Aboriginal peoples
