Nadya Kwandibens is of Ojibwe ( Anishinaabe ) / French heritage from the Northwest Angle #37 First Nation in Ontario, Canada. Identifying mainly with her Ojibwe roots, she is also known as Makoons and is from the Loon Clan .“ "Kwandibens' photos actively depict the Indian with passion and integrity . She captures an Indigenous spirit (individual + collective) and resuscitates characters overshadowed by the burden of false impression. Her aesthetic, whether shot in black and white or color, is cinematic. Her portraits carry personal and collective strengths forward and create lasting impressions."
