A Métis who was born and raised in Saskatoon, Signa has enjoyed her time learning how to be a lawyer and historian while working at First Nations University of Canada, the University of Alberta and the University of Saskatchewan. Her current projects include topics such as overlapping land claims by Indigenous groups in Canada, microhistory, Indigenous slavery, and the economic analysis of law. At the College of Law, she teaches torts, Aboriginal Self-Government, Law and Economics and Canadian legal history. Away from the College, she paints, gardens and tries to get more poetry written. Already an avid garage-saler and bingo player, Signa is also trying to learn even more about how to do what her grandmothers used to do in the prairies.
