grew up between the Stone Reserve, British Columbia, and her current
home of Vancouver. In 2005 her film Su Naa (My Big Brother)

has taught media production at the Gulf Islands Film and Television
School on Galiano Island, British Columbia. In 2000, through Aboriginal
Women's Action Network, Haig-Brown and Audrey Huntley (Ojibwe)
led the Fraser River Journey for Justice, rafting 500 miles from
Prince George to Vancouver, and speaking about violence against
Aboriginal women at nine Native communities along the Fraser River.
She graduated from the Aboriginal Film and Television Production
Program at Capilano College in North Vancouver, British Columbia.
"I've always loved great stories that show me the simple
beauty of humanity. Through tears, these stories helped me understand
the complexity of the human spirit. The display of the multiple
grey areas within humanity would at once make me feel an affinity
and a deep love for people. Throughout my life, injustices left
me devastated, confused and later enraged. These stories have
been fundamental to breathing back my love. I make my videos in
hopes to contribute to this tradition."
