Martin Lominy was born in Montreal in 1975. At first interested by paleontology, he finally chooses to studty anthropology at the University of Montreal with a specialization in archaeology. After a field course in Peru, he develops a particular inteterest in Latin America and decides to expand his field of study to include ethnology and history. From there, his training becomes multidisciplinary and leads him to undertake a study Maya architecture as his graduate project which he concludes with an educative website.

Fascinated by Maya culture and interested in educative applications, he then joins a museology project at the National Museum of Archaeology and Ethnolohy in Guatemala where he adopts an intercultural perspective and an educative approach. So begins his career in museum education with a specialization in science and heritage interpretation. It is during his first years of animation at the McCord Museum that he comes in direct contact with northern aboriginal traditions and has the opportunity to actively study them for several years through various educative projects. This new passion leads him to develop an expertise on aboriginal technologies that he puts in practice through experimental archaeology and ethnobotany. Since then, he has been learning traditional craftsmanship to reproduce technologies that have disapeared or are disapearing.

Currently, he works as a contract educator and collaborates with various organizations for the promotion of Canadian history, Quebec archaeology and aboriginal cultures. He has produced educative programs, cultural activities,  and educative material for museums, interpretation centers and various organizations. He also taught anthropology at college leveland work relentlessly as an independent craftsaman specialized in the reproduction of artefacts, model making and the creation of various crafts.
