Tomson Highway
Tomson Highway was born near Maria Lake, Manitoba in 1951. Living a
nomadic lifestyle with no access to books, television or radio,
Highway's parents would tell their children stories, kindling
Highway's life-long interest in the oral tradition of
storytelling.
Tomson Highway is widely recognized for his tremendous contribution
to the development of Aboriginal theatre in both Canada and around
the world.
In 1994, he was inducted into the Order of Canada, the first
Aboriginal writer to be so honoured.
