Biography

Mary-Anne Neal is project director of the Dene Hero Publication Project, a collaborative, fully-Indigenous literacy project that has published three books in three years.

This award-winning project builds skills, enhances pride in the Dene heritage, improves literacy, and engages all members of the five Indigenous communities located in the remote Sahtu region of the Northwest Territories. Mary-Anne is an independent educational consultant who teaches for Royal Roads University, University of Victoria and Camosun College.
