On Marjorie Beaucage’s 70th birthday, on a suggestion from a friend, she took part in a ceremony burning all of her journals. Her new book is what remains.."

Marjorie Beaucage (she/her) is a Two-Spirit Métis Auntie, acclaimed filmmaker, art-ivist and educator, land protector and a water walker. Born in Vassar, Manitoba, to a large Métis family, Marjorie’s life’s work has been about creating social change, working to give people the tools for creating possibilities and right relations.

She has been a Grandmother for Walking With Our Sisters; the Elder for OUT Saskatoon; and the Elder-In-Residence for the University of Saskatchewan Student Union. As a current Board Member of Chokecherry Studios, she is giving back to future art-ivists as they stand up for themselves and their community through creating art, music and writing. She just finished six short harm-reduction videos “Reducing The Harms of Colonization” for creating possibilities of wellness with story medicine.


Her poetic memoir, leave some for the birds is filled with wise and poignant reflections on her life. leave some for the birds is based on seven decades of living and seeking justice as a Two Spirit, Michif woman. With its poems, poetic observations and thoughtful meanderings, the book reads as a journal-memoir-poetry collection, unfolding the experiences and wisdom of a woman who has dedicated much of her life and talent to creating social change.

leave some for the birds is part reflection on a life dedicated to justice and equity, part manual for others who wish to follow in the author’s trailblazing footsteps. The book is available via Kegedonce Press, Amazon, Indigo and your local bookstore. You can find Marjorie on Insta at @marjoriebeaucage or visit kagedoncepress.com
