Full time Auntie from Temagami First Nation, Deanne Hupfield has been dancing for 30 years. She grew up as an urban Nish kid in Thunder Bay First Nation due to the Indian Act (her mom was enfranchised).  The powwow community in Thunder Bay really supported her reconnecting to her culture.  Her mom was 60’s Scoop so she wasn’t able to provide her with much cultural teachings.  Dancing Jingle Dress and Fancy Shawl was how Deanne healed from her generational trauma.  She started teaching powwow dance and Regalia making classes about 20 years ago to support her community.  She moved to Toronto to further her Regalia Making skills in 2008 and then got snagged at the Native Centre Drum Social.  Now she is married with 5 children and she teaches Powwow dancing on Youtube and has an online Jingle Dress Making Course.
