Lynn is an author, advocate, artist, and public speaker. Her work encompasses both anti-colonial work and the celebration of Indigenous knowledge. She challenges Canada’s practices, policies, and laws of colonial genocide such as the land claims and self-government process, sex-discrimination in the Indian Act, the continued destruction of Akikpautik / Chaudière Falls–an Anishinaabeg sacred place, and Canada’s lack of policy addressing Indigenous women and girls with disabilities who are bigger targets of sexual violence.

Quotes by Lynn Gehl  (?)

“Water is so smart, it knows what to do.

It is hard to be human, just keep trying.

Tell me your IK not your IQ.

Believing in the sacred is far more rational and sustainable than believing in the destruction brought on by the current economic paradigm.

​It is completely unacceptable for Canada to rely on sex discrimination to eliminate the racist Indian Act, and the cultural genocide inherent in the land claims and self-government process to eliminate Indigenous rights.”
