Lindsay Dawn Dobbin (they/she) is a Kanien'kehá:ka - Acadian - Irish water protector, artist, musician, storyteller, curator and educator who lives and works in Mi'kma'ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of Lnu’k (Mi’kmaq). Dobbin was born in and belongs to the Kennebecasis River Valley (from the Mi'kmaq word Kenepekachiachk, meaning "little long bay place"), a tributary of the Wolastoq ("beautiful river"), in the traditional territory of the Wəlastəkwiyik and Mi’kmaq. Dobbin has lived throughout Wabanaki Territory, mostly around the Bay of Fundy, as well as in Yukon, Kwanlin Dün territory.

Dobbin's relational and place-responsive practice includes sound art, music, performance, sculpture, installation, social practices and writing, and is invested in Indigenous epistemologies, such as drumming. Through placing listening, land-based pedagogy, play and improvisation at the centre of creativity, Dobbin explores the connection between the environment and the body, and engages in a sensorial intimacy with the land and water. Their work aims to bring attention to the natural world as witness, teacher and collaborator in learning—making visible and audible our interdependence with earth's living processes.
