Amber O'Hara
Amber belongs to the Cherokee and Ojibway Nations, and is of the Wolf Clan.
Amber has been drumming since 1993. She gives thanks to her drumming teachers who have been: Lionel Whitebird (deceased), Judy Pamp (deceased), Shandra Spears (Baapnong Kwe), Maggie Paul, and Asani.
For the past ten years Amber has been researching and documenting the hundreds of women of native ancestry who have disappeared or have been murdered in Canada over the past 20 years.
Amber’s book, ”Their Spirits Speak”, is due to be published later this year. Her website which addresses these murders is at Missing/Murdered Native Women
An AIDS and Cancer survivor, Amber has been clean and sober since 1983 and credits the Teachings so freely shared by her Elders, our Ceremonies, and taking up her drum in prayer and song, daily, as the core of her recovery.
Amber's background is in Social Work, although in recent years she has worked as an AIDS Educator for the First Nations Communities, has facilitated many Healing Circles, and provided communities with Traditional Teachings around Grief and Recovery. Lately she has dedicated her time as a writer/researcher.
In her spare time, Amber enjoys creating native crafts, writing, and hanging out with her wolf dog, Nvwati and her rez dawg, Mkwaa.
