Mackenzie Anderson Linklater is an Asiniskaw Ithiniwak and Anishinaabe artist based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Her practice is rooted in intergenerational storytelling, drawing on family histories, language, and memories of home to explore identity as something carried, shared, and continually renewed. Working closely with her family as collaborators and knowledge keepers, Anderson Linklater understands artmaking as a relational process rather than an individual one.

Through material-driven works using birch bark, wood, beading, and found objects, Anderson Linklater creates quiet, deliberate pieces that hold the presence of those who came before her. Cree and Anishinaabemowin appear in her titles and forms, grounding the work in acts of language revitalization and care. Guided by a deep respect for the spirit and history of her materials, her practice honours the stories embedded in both objects and people, offering a space where memory, land, and family remain in active, living connection.
