Mark DeWolf

As the eldest son of an Indian Residential School Principal, Mark DeWolf spent ten of his childhood years on the Blood Reserve / Kainai First Nation in southern Alberta during the 1950 and early 60s, attending classes with the students of St. Paul’s Anglican Indian Residential School for six of those years. A teacher of secondary school English for more then 35 years, as well as a writer and performer of satirical sketches on CBC Radio, he is now retired and occupies himself as a writer, a musician, an English tutor to recent immigrants, and a volunteer at a Halifax seniors’ drop-in centre. Mark takes an active interest in all Indigenous issues and supports Indigenous organizations that promote education and the building of relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians.
