Currently based in Saskatoon Saskatchewan, attending the Saskatchewan Native Teacher Education Program, Tristen is an active member of the broader community sitting on the Saskatoon Pride Board, performing traditional cultural presentations in schools and public gatherings, and a frequent participant in the Indigenous Poets Society scene having read at many poetry nights for the past six years.
