Elder Michael Thrasher (KA-WHYWA-WEET), Turtle Clan, is a nationally recognized teacher of First Nations philosophy, tradition, and knowledge. He spent much of his youth in northern Saskatchewan working alongside his father, honing his business and wilderness skills while operating a remote hunting and fishing lodge north of Lake Athabasca.
Michael Thrasher is a knowledge keeper with a vast amount of cultural knowledge. Michael Thrasher has been sharing about traditional first nations culture and ceremony for at least 40 years. After leaving the north to further his education, work and travel, Elder Thrasher returned to Canada and came into contact with a number of influential elders from Alberta’s First Nation communities.
From these initial meetings began a process of apprenticeship, learning, and training that provided Elder Thrasher with the foundations of traditional Indigenous knowledge and ceremony with roots dating back to the early civilizations of Canada’s Indigenous peoples.
