Flora was born in Kinistino, Saskatchewan, and lived in Prince Albert, SK, for many years. She was a proud Métis woman and a founder of the Métis Nation of Saskatchewan.

Flora led the Western Region Métis Women’s Association, and worked with the cultural committee of the Métis Nation of Saskatchewan for many years. In 2000, at Back to Batoche, the organization thanked her for decades of service with a gift of two novelty fiddles.
