Elder Mae Louise Campbell is one of the three co-founders of Clan Mothers Healing Village and Knowledge Centre in Bélair, Manitoba. She is from the Ojibwa-Saulteaux Metis Nation, and she has taught and supported people from different backgrounds for over 81 years.

She is also a Wisdom Keeper on the Kookum Kaa Na Da Maa Waad Abinoojiiak Council: Grandmothers Protecting our Children (also known as the Grandmothers Council of Manitoba).
