Emma Stevens

As an artist, Emma is passionate about bringing awareness to important issues facing First Nations people across Canada, including the loss of language and the staggering number of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls (MMIWG). In 2019, Emma recorded Paul McCartney’s “Blackbird” in Mi’kmaq to help bring awareness to the United Nations’ observance of the International Year of Indigenous Languages. Since its release, Steven’s version of “Blackbird” has garnered international attention and has helped bring awareness to various efforts being undertaken to revitalize endangered Indigenous languages around the world, notably so in Steven’s own Mi'kma'ki where there are fewer than 10,000 speakers of the Mi’kmaq language remaining. Stevens has performed across Canada and internationally with performances in Nairobi, Kenya, Abu Dhabi, Parliament Hill in Ottawa and the UAE for United Nations assemblies where she sang and spoke to leaders and policy-makers from around the world.
