Kiko identifies as Queer and Non Binary, and is a settler of European descent, primarily Irish, German and Ukrainian. More recently Kiko has been strengthening their relationship to their Irish lineage, studying and practicing within the rhythms of the Celtic Wheel. Kiko currently resides between Tkaronto ~ the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy (the Six Nations), the Wendat, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. And Saskatoon ~ colonially known as Treaty Six Land, the traditional homeland of many First Nations including Cree, Dene, Plains Cree, Nakota, Saulteaux, and Ojibwe and Metis Nation.
Kiko is deeply devoted to listening, learning and honoring nature through personal ritual and offerings. All begins with acknowledging the privilege of getting to practice on this land, the necessity of care and the responsibility we have to ourselves, the earth and each other.
