Oliver Moss Warawa McDonald

Oliver Moss Warawa McDonald was born in North Vancouver, B.C. and has lived his entire life by the coast. He is a member of the Peguis Nation, and identifies as a 2-spirit person. Counting at Kits Beach (2024, Kegedonce Press) is his debut children’s book. Oliver currently lives in Vancouver on stolen Musqueam and Squamish territory, where he continues to create. He creates art under the name West Coast Cree Creations, the name of which represents a complicated identity. Oliver is a Cree person, yet was raised on the coast. Seas and mountains are his home. He strives to learn about his ancestors back in Manitoba, and to connect with his elders. His art celebrates the balance between residing on the west coast, and his cultural roots of Cree heritage.
