Elaine Bomberry is from Six Nations on the Grand River in Ontario. As a freelance Aboriginal arts activist/promoter/radio producer, Elaine has worked on many projects in film, video, television, radio, music, theatre, and now wants to expand into new media.

Working full-time in the Aboriginal arts scene for fourteen years, as a general manager, publicist, promoter, and with her mother was partner of an Aboriginal talent agency, All Nations Talent Group, for six years. She also helped create the Best Music of Aboriginal Canada recording category for the JUNO Awards, and was the first chairperson. Elaine also served in many arts boards and arts council juries over this time.

Elaine was a volunteer producer/host of her own radio show called Aboriginal Airwaves on CKRZ-FM for eight years. The show focused on contemporary Aboriginal music and arts. She hopes to syndicate this show, and hopefully over the Internet in the very near future.
