About Me

My name is Nadine Quewezance. I am from Keeseekoose First Nation. I grew up in the city of Saskatoon since the age of five. I recall having a cheerful, adventurous childhood. I was involved in softball, ringette and Girl Guides. My mother and stepdad used to keep us kids busy with extra curricular activities. My dad would attend our games, and he was always in the stands yelling and cheering. He was a kind and loving father who used to always tell me stories and do crazy things to make me laugh when he knew I was mad. He was always a lot of fun to be around. We were very fortunate to have this special man in our lives growing up. On April 24, 1999 he died of a massive heart attack. He is sadly missed and there isn’t a day that goes by when I don’t think of him. His memory will forever linger in my heart.

My mother is a loving, caring, nurturing grandmother to 14 grandchildren. My children and I look forward to her visits. She catches me up on current events back home on the rez. My mother is the Elders Co-ordinator for the Elders Program on the reserve. Just recently she was selected to attend a conference in Ottawa to represent her program. Her Elders program is one of the top 12 aboriginal healing programs in Canada. Because of her hard work and dedication, she is highly respected in the community of Keeseekoose. She returned with a lot of beautiful pictures and souvenirs from Ottawa. I’m very proud of my mother.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my ol’ man, going for walks, reading and listening to music. My favourite rock group is Creed. I also enjoy watching wrestling. My favourite wrestlers are the Big Show and Undertaker.
