Hello My Friends,
Thank you All for Coming Here. My Ojibwé Name is (She is) Blue Earth Woman, My English Name is Tracy Clear Sky. 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 Métis Federation; All Situated Among the Greater Anishinaabeg Territories Across Turtle Island. Currently My Family & Business Humbly Resides in Calgary, Alberta -Treaty 7 Territory.
In 2020, After I Graduated from University and While Supporting My Growing Family, I Decided to Start My Own Business. I Founded a Small Home-Based Clothing Manufacturing Business, Nii'kinaaganaa Trading Co.. (Nii'kinaaganaa is an Ojibwe Word Which Translates to All My Relations).
As an Indigenous Fashion Designer & Businesswomen, My Vision to Start My Own Clothing Brand is to Share the Exquisite Beauty of the Greater Anishinaabeg & Métis Nations of Turtle Island Through Fashion. Nii'kinaaganaa Trading Co. Aims to Support & Promote Indigenous Artists by Manufacturing Our Fashion Wear & Apparels Exclusively with Indigenous Designed Fabrics.
Each Order Packaged Includes a Brief Bio of the Featured Artists We Have Selected to Showcase on Our Online Shop. We Believe by Honoring Indigenous Artists this Way is Integral as a True Form of Reconcile-Action, to Prevent Cultural & Art Appropriation.
Through Our Online Platform, Website & Fashion Collection, We are Proud & Honoured to Share Our Anishinaabe/Saulteaux/Métis Culture & History in a Meaningful & Respectful Way.
Miigwetch/Maarsii-Thank you
