Elizabeth Merasty is a member of the Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation and a descendant of Rock Cree and Scottish ancestry. A northerner at heart, Liz has made the Saskatchewan prairie home for the past decade. She lives on a grain farm with her husband, three children, and a herd of bison. Inspired by the strong women in her lineage, Liz continues to nurture her interest in healthy relationships, the traditional uses of medicinal plants, and learning from the land. As a mom, teacher, and consultant, Elizabeth enjoys the adventure of learning and revitalizing Cree language and culture. She holds a Certificate in Indigenous Languages (ILC), a Bachelor of Education, and a Bachelor of Arts (Hons.) from the University of Saskatchewan.
