As a Nêhiyaw photographer, Marinda's practice is rooted in her heritage, using photography as a tool for self-interrogation, documentation, and storytelling.
Her landscapes reflect both cultural and personal relationships to the land, guided by ancestry and quiet solitude, which invite contemplation and critical reflection. Through her work, she seeks to dismantle colonial narratives and reclaim Indigenous perspectives, using photography as an act of resistance, preservation, and expression.
By bridging past and present, tradition and modernity, her imagery embodies the resilience and enduring spirit of Indigenous territories.
Marinda holds a Bachelor of Design with a major in Photography from Alberta University of the Arts. Though her roots trace back to Treaty 8 territory, she was shaped by the varied landscapes of Alberta before settling on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, where she is currently based in North Vancouver.
