I'll acknowledge that I'm definitely not up on "Indigenous" (intentional quotes) "Icons" (again), but if I had to guess, I'd estimate maybe 1 in 20 people could identify BSM from a photo and even fewer would have any more than a passive recollection of her name.

But, in the days where that qualifies someone as an "icon" and Fortze is a unicorn, I guess it all makes sense.
Well she's probably a little before your time (I have no idea how old you are, but she's before my time to some extent for sure). There's no doubt that someone with the accolades she has is an icon though. If you have an Oscar, Order of Canada and a Stamp (among other things), I'd say that makes you an icon whether I know anything about what she did or not!
