Shayne Michael
Shayne Michael is a Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) poet from Canada.[1] He is most noted for his 2020 poetry collection Fif et sauvage, which was the winner in the French poetry category at the 2021 Indigenous Voices Awards.[2]
A member of the Madawaska Maliseet First Nation in New Brunswick, Michael studied dance and theatre direction at the Université Laval.[3] The title of Fif et sauvage reclaims the pejorative slurs "sauvage", referring to his indigenous status, and "fif", referring to his queer sexuality.[4]
