Breanna Tait is a queer Métis and Swampy Cree two-spirit person who was born in Manitoba, grew up in central Alberta with her mom and sister, and now lives in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. She has a Bachelor of Arts with Distinction in Anthropology from MacEwan University and presented at two conferences during her undergraduate. Currently, she is the Visitor Services Coordinator at Wanuskewin Heritage Park and has worked there in the Visitor Services department as an interpretive guide and program developer since 2019. In 2023, along with five other Indigenous leaders from across Canada, Breanna was selected by the U.S. Embassy to participate in an International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP), which is a short-term exchange program run through the U.S. Department of State that was focused on the cultural and educational obstacles that Indigenous people face in higher education. She has been on the board of directors for the Indigenous Heritage Circle, a national non-profit dedicated to the advancement of cultural heritage priorities that are important to Indigenous peoples across Canada, since 2023. In 2026, she was selected as a grantee for the UN Voluntary Fund for Indigenous Peoples to attend the 48th Session of the World Heritage Committee in the Republic of Korea. She represented Wanuskewin Heritage Park as an observer to the World Heritage Committee to learn more about UNESCO and the inscription process for World Heritage Sites, and to learn and share with Indigenous peoples from around the world. Breanna’s passion lies in sharing Indigenous heritage in a way that is accessible to both Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth.
