Cardinal was raised in the hamlet of [[Anzac, Alberta|Anzac]], [[Alberta]]. The lack of electricity inspired her to use her imagination while playing in the bush. Her grandmother nicknamed her "Tantoo" after the [[insect repellent]] they used while picking [[blueberry|blueberries]] together. She taught Cardinal the [[Cree language]], the traditional ways of their culture and the difficulties she would face growing up Métis in Canada.
