Sam Mukwa Kloetstra
Indigenous Place Making Council
Indigenous Youth Advisor & Co Founder
Toronto, Canada
Sam Mukwa Kloetstra is an Indigenous Anishinaabe youth from Mattagami First Nation in what is now known as Canada. He is a strong advocate for the creation of Indigenous spaces, cultural revitalization, and community wellbeing. His passion in place making began when he moved from his First Nation in Northern Ontario to the city of Toronto and struggled to see himself and his culture reflected in the fabric of the urban landscape. As a co-founder of the Indigenous Place Making Council, Sam seeks to reclaim and showcase Indigenous place for Canadians and Indigenous people alike.
