Meet the Kweens

Kweens of the North Care Inc. is rooted in collective strength.

While founded by Ash, this vision extends beyond one voice. The long-term goal of Kweens of the North is to create space for Indigenous women, educators, artists, healers, and knowledge carriers to share their gifts with community.

This is about circle, not spotlight.

Our Vision

We believe Indigenous women hold powerful medicine.

Educators.

Artists.
Beaders.

Kweens of the North is building toward a collective model where multiple Indigenous women can offer workshops, teachings, and cultural experiences through one unified platform.

This means:

• Expanding workshop offerings
• Creating employment and leadership opportunities
