WOVEN

In collaboration with Soaring Circle, the brand WOVEN was created in 2023.  WOVEN aims to provide opportunities for Indigenous youth all across Canada to be inspired by design and entrepreneurship.  This design contest was the first of its kind and inspired youth to create a drawing that would possibly be woven into a blanket.  This collaboration and initiative provides the opportunity for the youth to see the potential in their talents. Summer Testawich from Syilx Territory in Snpinktn, B.C had the winning design called We are All One..
