      Bertha Clark is a trailblazer and a champion for indigenous women across Canada. In the late 1960s, she founded the Alberta Native Women's Voice, now the Native Women's Association of Canada, to advance issues and concerns of First Nations and Métis women.

She remains a powerful voice and a guiding light for the Aboriginal community of Canada.
