Leanne Betasamosake Simpson is a renowned Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg scholar, writer, artist, and musician who has been widely recognized as one of the most compelling Indigenous voices of her generation. Her work breaks open the intersections between politics, story, and song—revealing a rich and layered world of sound, light, and sovereign creativity.

Samson (The Weakerthans) contributes featured vocals to Surface Tension.

She holds a PhD from the University of Manitoba, and teaches at the Dechinta Centre for Research & Learning in Denendeh.
