Makhena Rankin Guerin is a two-spirit anishinaabe and franco-ontarian artist from Ottawa, member of Abitibiwinni First Nation. They have been a traditional dancer their whole life, trying out multiple styles of indigenous dancing but settled with hoop dancing after starting 6 years ago. Mixing traditional styles with contemporary styles of dance is a common practice for Makhena as she developed her own style throughout the years by taking inspiration from multiple styles.
