Catherine Tammaro is a Toronto-based artist whose work engages themes of memory, Ancestral continuity, land, language, and Indigenous presence across the Great Lakes region. Her research and artistic practice explore documented connections between the Tammaro family and the Greyeyes, Leslie and Pigeon families associated with the historic Anderdon Reserve and Wyandot/Wendat communities in both Canada and the United States.

Drawing from archival research, oral histories, community relationships/membership
and genealogical affirmation, Tammaro’s work reflects an ongoing engagement with Wyandot/Wendat cultural histories and intergenerational knowledge. Family lineage
research and DNA findings have contributed to confirming Ancestral connections
linked to the Greyeyes, Pigeon and Leslie family lines.

Her multidisciplinary practice bridges contemporary art, historical recovery and cultural remembrance, often centering overlooked and suppressed narratives of Indigenous endurance, kinship, Motherwork and identity within Southern Ontario and cross-border
Great Lakes communities.

Tàmmaro has brought her spiritual and creative energies back into the homeland to
help revitalise the Wyandot(t) presence in Ontario. She actively supports the work
and development of other artists on an ongoing basis and continues teaching, learning
and exploring her own creativity and that of others.
