“I love to experience new things, try everything,” explained Sierra Chi?ela William, during a break from her pageant duties in Toronto.
She plans to use the modeling aspects to highlight some Indigenous styles, including those from her own business, called Chi?ela Designs, making Indigenous clothing, including ribbon skirts and regalia.William has been operating her own sewing business for nearly two years and was inspired to start the project thanks to her grandmother Eileen William, who had made her a ribbon skirt, jingle skirt and moccasins. Eileen taught Sierra to sew.
Her reason for entering the competition is to help bring attention to the stories of residential and day school survivors. “I’m the first generation not to go to residential school,” said Sierra, whose grandmother, father and uncle are all residential school survivors. “I want them to be heard.”
