Ten years after the Calls to Action, I continue to be guided by the matriarchs in my life. Their voices and teachings remind us that reconciliation is a lifelong journey — not just one day.
Join me in honouring Indigenous stories and watch @cbc special NDTR programming to learn, reflect, and take action. 🧡

I am so honoured to be selected to speak at this years @teenvogue Summit along side powerhouse @dejafoxx and @genesisbutler_ in partnership with @thebodyshopnorthamerica .
I will be speaking on the importance of Indigenous science, the power of our votes and bringing our Indigenous stories to the frontline.

Indigenous people are naturally born scientists. 💥
Tansi 👋🏾 My name is Nikita Kahpeaysewat, my traditional name is Usinee Iskwew ᕒᐅᐨᐠ ᐅᐧᒪᐣ (Rock Woman). I am a 24-year-old Nêhiyaw (Plains Cree) from Moosomin First Nation. Currently, I am majoring in Environmental Science at MRU where my focus is on water quality on Indigenous communities. In my freetime, I love creating makeup looks that intertwine with my culture. My favorite aspect of social media is the opportunity to share the beauty of my culture with others. 🦋 And to learn about other Indigenous cultures as well. ❤ So feel free to reach out and connect 👋🏾 Miyo-kîsikâw
The stunning and beautiful Nikita.
Over the years we’ve created some incredible shoots together, but this one might still be my favourite.
Photography has brought so many amazing people into my life. It’s taught me more than I ever expected and opened doors I’m truly grateful for. Nikita has had our images published in Fashion Magazine and even transformed into murals — which is pretty surreal to see.
I’m lucky to have been able to capture her raw beauty and strength.
Come back for a visit 😉 please and thank you 😂

COP 30: Belém, Brazil.
Had the opportunity to represent the Indigenous Peoples of the North America Region and share our climate priorities to the UN Secretary General. #cop30embelém🌳
Two years ago, we were FaceTiming from different timezones talking about what our futures might hold. I’m so happy we made it here. ✨💋#happyanniversarymylove
