Bryan Akwirente (A Tree That Provides Shelter) Deer is of the Rotiskaréwa:ke (Bear Clan) of the Mohawk Nation of Kahnawake.

Throughout his life, Bryan has been on the path of learning about being a Kanien'kéha man and understanding the roles and responsibilities these duties entail. As Bryan walked his journey, there came a time when his focus shifted, and his calling to carry and learn about the Medicines and grow his gifts to help the people became more prominent in his life.

Today, Bryan carries many healing gifts guided by Spirit; these include doctoring people with injuries and helping their physical bodies heal, aligning and balancing energies, and healing trauma. He can conduct sweat lodge ceremonies, call a person's Spirit back, provide traditional counselling and readings, and works with traditional plant medicines. Bryan regularly travels to many Indigenous communities across Turtle Island; this includes working with incarcerated individuals, where he shares his gifts with those who have embarked on the healing path.

Akwirente occasionally offers healing sessions at Haudenosaunee Universe.
