Noé is a disabled, white, queer Two-Spirit Métis person from the Red River Valley, with generations of ancestral roots on this land. Their work, within the community as well as academic institutions, has focused on Indigenous ways of knowing, learning, and sharing and is grounded in principles of community care and participation. 

They earned their BSW from the University of Manitoba in 2020 and their MSW from McGill University in 2023. They received a SSHRC Joseph Armand Bombardier CGS-M (2021) award for their master’s research, which explored beading as an Indigenized auto-ethnographic research method. 

Noé worked as the research coordinator and instructor within Winnipeg’s Investigaytors program from 2022-2024, learning alongside other 2SLGBTQQIA+ folks actively involved in questioning and queering “research” as we know it.
