Cheryl L'Hirondelle (also Waynohtêw, Cheryl Koprek; born September 20, 1958) is a Canadian multidisciplinary media artist, performer, and award-winning musician. She is of Métis/Cree (non-status/treaty), French, German, and Polish descent. Her work is tied to her cultural heritage. She explores a Cree worldview or nêhiyawin through body, mind, emotions, and spirit; examining what it means to live in contemporary space and time. L'Hirondelle was born in Edmonton, Alberta (amiskwaciy-wâskahikan), Canada. Her mother's family is from Papaschase First Nation, Alberta, and they also lived at Kikino Metis settlement for several years. L'Hirondelle's father emigrated from Germany as a young man shortly after WWII, and initially worked as an inventor for CIL and then later, in the oil industry moving the family around the western provinces to be near many of his gas plant startups. The family eventually moved to Calgary in 1964, where she attended St. Margaret's Elementary and Junior High School. Her last name (L'Hirondelle, her mother's maiden name) means swallow, a "migratory swift-flying songbird." More information...
