ElizaBeth Hill is Mohawk from the Six Nations Grand River Reserve, and a songwriter, multi-disciplinary artist, and writer whose work has taken her to exploring Indigenous lands and voices around the world.

Throughout her career as an established performer, film composer, playwright, and visual artist, ElizaBeth uses the power of sound and stories to celebrate the beauty of the good mind upon the earth.
