Michael (KA-WHYWA-WEET) is a nationally recognized Métis teacher of Anishinabi First Nations philosophy, tradition and culture. He is widely credited for his ability to use traditional knowledge and
viewpoints to address contemporary issues. Significantly, Michael was one of the four Traditional Teachers and Elders invited to conduct the sacred pipe ceremony at the opening of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal People. In addition, he was the co-chair of the first Round Table Hearings for the Royal Commission in Edmonton. His contacts and experience extend from the grass roots of the First Nations community to the offices of governments and multi-national corporations.

"Your conviction was apparent and strong, providing substance in a world of devalued ideas, academic arrogance and pop culture zeal. The lack of procrastination and didacticism, however, clinched the method of instruction with your values." (Michael M., Ottawa)
