Drag queen Anita LandBack is a 'love letter' to Mi'kmaw culture | CBC News
"For a long time, Athanasius Sylliboy felt like they didn't belong in Halifax's queer community.
Then they found drag.
Sylliboy, a two-spirit nurse practitioner originally from Eskasoni, started performing as Anita LandBack a couple months ago. Sylliboy's pronouns are they and them
"I guess Anita is like this love letter and symbol I have for the love of my Mi'kmaw culture, my people, and my language," Sylliboy told CBC Radio's Mainstreet Halifax.
"Whether or not it's wearing moccasins or beaded jewlery or clothing made by Mi'kmaw artists across Nova Scotia ... I feel like these are things that people need to see."
Sylliboy spoke with Mainstreet host Jeff Douglas about how Anita LandBack was born, and how they hope their performances educate people about Indigenous culture and sovereignty.
The conversation has been condensed and edited for clarity."
