Coral's Story: Coral Madge is a Two Spirit Deh'cho Dene and Metis-Cree artist originally from Fort St. John, BC, who has been residing in Alberta since 2009. At the age of 17, Coral began their journey with Big Bear Moccasins, a venture that has been a cornerstone of their life and work. Their sewing skills not only supported them through college but also provided a fulfilling career after graduation. Coral’s expertise in traditional beadwork earned them a position at a museum, where they care for and study vintage beadwork.
Coral is dedicated to reviving and preserving antique Indigenous styles, drawing inspiration from Dene floral motifs and traditional techniques. By utilizing almost exclusively vintage beads and materials such as smoked hide, wool, and velveteen, Coral creates pieces that blend the rich heritage of their ancestors with contemporary aesthetics. This approach brings the brilliance of traditional Indigenous art into the modern context.
Reflecting on their journey, Coral shares, "My mom taught me to bead when I was 17 and told me stories of growing up sewing with her grandma and speaking her language. Beading and traditional arts guided me through a dark time in my life and have allowed me to support myself." Through their artistry, Coral continues to honor their cultural legacy and share its beauty with the world.

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.
