Hello My Friends,

Thank you All for Coming Here. My Ojibwe Name is  (She is) Blue Earth Woman, My English Name is Tracy Clearsky. I Am a Two-Spirit Woman & a Mother of Four Beautiful Children.  I Am from Treaty 1 Territories, Located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, a Proud Nation Member of Waywayseecappo First Nation Treaty 4 Territories, as well as, Have Family Ties Within the Manitoba Metis Federation; All Situated Among the Greater Anishinaabeg Territories Across Turtle Island. Currently My Family & Business Humbly Resides in Calgary, Alberta -Treaty 7 Territory. I Am Also the Proud Owner of a Home-Based Clothing Manufacturing Business, Nii'kinaaganaa  (Sounds Like: Nee-kee-nah-gah-nah) Trading Co.. (Nii'kinaaganaa is an Ojibwe Word Which Translates to All My Relations.)

I Began Sewing Clothing & Powwow Regalia at the Age of 12 years, a Skill Taught to Me by My Maternal Ojibwe Grandmother. After I Graduated from University in 2020, & While Supporting My Growing Family, I Decided to Start My Own Business.

As an Indigenous Fashion Designer & Businesswomen, My Vision to Start My Own Clothing Brand is to Share the Exquisite Beauty of the Greater Anishinaabeg & Metis Nations of Turtle Island Through Fashion. My Company Aims to Support & Promote Indigenous Artists by Manufacturing Our Fashion Wear & Apparels Exclusively with Indigenous Designed Fabrics.

Each Order We Create Includes a Brief Artist Bio of the Featured Artists on Our Online Shop, We Believe by Honouring Indigenous Artists this Way is Integral to Prevent Cultural & Art Appropration, as a True Form of Reconcil-Action.

Through Our Online Platform, Website & Fashion Collection, We are Proud & Honoured to Share Our Anishinaabe/Metis Culture & History in a Meaningful & Respectful Way.

Miigwetch/Maarsii-Thank you
