Yellow Cloud Womyn is my spririt name and Carrianne Agawa is my given one.  My clan is the turtle.  I come from the land of the birch tress but this is also known as Whitefish River First Nation (WRFN).  I am an Ojibwe womyn and a contrary. My father, Paul Jacko (ba) was an Ojibwe from WRFN and my mom Heather (ba) was english, Iroquois and german.  I grew up on the land and maintain a strong relationship with it; land grounds me and will always remind me of who I am.  

​

I have two adult children, 3 beautiful grandchild (noshis), have fostered many children and currently a rescued a beagle or vice versa.  My life is full of wonderful adventures; kokom (grandmother) is a new adventure that I am rocking in at the moment.

With a Masters in Education, an Honors degree in Psychology, along with many other certificates and life experiences, I skillfully infuse Indigenous and Western knowledge in the work I do and love.  

Motivational Speaker, Facilitator, Storyteller, Artist and Windigo KaaN (Contrary); I live life and refuse to let life live me.
