The Atheana Picha Tamarack is part of the Manitobah Artist Series, a collaboration between Manitobah and a select group of talented artists from across Turtle Island. This collaboration aims to celebrate the rich cultural heritage and artistic diversity of Indigenous communities through the creation of wearable art. Crafted with full grain leather and sheepskin lining, each step embodies luxury and comfort. Atheana Picha, a Coast Salish artist, intricately depicts blackfish, orcas, symbolizing familial bonds and emotional intelligence. Her design includes stars guiding us through interconnected territories, reflecting Coast Salish teachings of resilience and navigation.About the Art"Blackfish, orcas, killer whales. This design is acknowledging our finned relatives. They travel far, together, and are highly emotionally intelligent beings. Family is important to them, as they hunt together, sing to each other, and mourn for their loved ones. We find teachers everywhere. In our oceans, we find teachings of strength and reminders of our responsibility to walk softly and with respect. We see their values of family, persistence, and joy.Blackfish remind me of our power, and how when we strengthen our mind we can do anything. The stars represent our systems of navigation, and our relationship to all levels of territory. The sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, lakes, oceans, shores, and forests. And stewards of this territory, we must do our best to be strong, humble, and kind." - Atheana Picha

More About Manitobah at Prairie Mall
As a young Métis entrepreneur, Sean McCormick began Manitobah Mukluks with the vision of creating a successful company while benefiting his community. Today we continue that vision on a larger scale, as a global brand making a positive impact in Indigenous communities across North America.Sean McCormick spent much of his childhood in northern Manitoba and started selling leather and fur while still in high school. In 1990, he established a trading post where Indigenous artisans traded handmade mukluks and moccasins for tanned leather, skins and furs. During this time, Sean saw an even greater opportunity to connect members of his community to the growing demand for authentic Indigenous footwear. In 1996, after completing the Manitoba Aboriginal Youth Entrepreneurship Training Program, Sean created the business plan and framework that would become Manitobah. In 2008, Manitobah began global operations and today it is one of Canada’s fastest-growing companies, with employees and customers worldwide. Despite the rapid success and growth of the brand, Manitobah remains connected to its roots and continues to provide authentic, Indigenous-designed products that return value to Indigenous communities. Manitobah became a certified B Corporation in 2023, a designation that demonstrates a business meets high standards of verified performance, accountability, and transparency on factors from employee benefits and charitable giving to supply chain practices and input materials.
