ⓘ About Katherena Vermette
Katherena Vermette is a published Canadian author of Métis descent. In 2013, she was the receptor of the Governor General’s Award in the field of English language poetry, awarded to her for North End Love Songs. Vermette is from Winnipeg in Manitoba. She grew up there in the North End in an area that had a fairly higher population than most of Indigenous people. About a quarter of the population was mainly Métis and First Nations. The area that she grew up in often had a high number of crimes reported. She has said that growing up as a kid was not quite picturesque. In her area, there were often instances of prejudice and even injustice. One particular instance of this was when Donovan, her 18 year old brother, was found dead after being missing for six months.
