Origin story of business name: In 2016, I woke up from a powerful dream that told me I would make a series of colouring books with elders and artists from different nations that would help people to reconnect with Indigenous culture. I thought it was a good idea so I started it on the side and now it's all I do.
Social impact practices your company is most proud of?: I've made over $35000 in donations from sales since 2016, i've organized a commemorative Truth & Reconciliation Walk every year since 2018, curated over 10 Indigenous art exhibits on the theme of Truth & Reconciliation and sold over 35000 products with Indigenous art across Turtle Island. I've helped many artists to develop a larger following, to start making art murals and feel more confident in their practice. I've also helped elders to share their wisdom.
Certified Living Wage Provider?: No
