Linnea Dick is a writer, orator and activist from the Kwakwaka’wakw, Nisga’a and Tsimshian nations in Canada. She became involved in Indigenous activism in 2013 with a conviction to create social change and help heal the injustices faced by Indigenous peoples. Through this work, she began to heal and recognize her purpose in life – to advocate for Indigenous youth, culture and sexual assault victims through public speaking. From 2015 – 2017, she worked closely with the University of British Columbia where her late father, Beau Dick, was an artist in residence. He continues to be one of the biggest inspiration in her life.

In 2015, she had a written piece published in the book Lalakenis/All Directions: A Journey of Truth and Unity, sharing her journey through activist movement “Awalaskenis” and the importance of connection to culture. In Fall 2017 she collaborated with Gwitchin artist Jeneen Frei Njootli, sharing poetry for her artist project “red rose and lidii,” published in C Magazine — a contemporary art magazine. Linnea continues to share her story through different avenues, and in her spare time enjoys writing, hiking, meditation and yoga. She chooses to live as her ancestors did: on the path of sobriety and with love for her community. She currently resides in Victoria, BC where she is writing her first book.
