Jocelyn's Story: Jocelyn Lamothe is a citizen of Métis Nation of Alberta. Born and raised in the Edmonton area, her Métis ancestry is traced back through the Peace River area, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. She has been beading for the past several years, gratefully acknowledging family members, Elders and mentors, along with blood memory, for her artwork. Each piece includes a gold bead from her father’s bead collection, representing gratitude and love for him and all ancestors. Her Cree-Metis heritage comes from her father's family.
Her grandmother, born at Big Prairie, Alberta attended St. Bernard's Residential School in Grouard. Métis scrip has been traced to both her great-grandfather, who fought in the Battle of Batoche alongside his brothers, as well as her great-great grandmother, who was born on the Great Plains. The scrip includes the location St Charles parish, Manitoba, and is dated August 18, 1875. Her family names include Jobin, Caron, Dumas, Mandeville, with ancestry traced back to the early 1800s. Through her mother’s family, Jocelyn has European and Settler heritage with ties to Iowa, Scotland, and Sweden. Common threads amongst her parents include love for family, music, creating, and living with the land. Jocelyn began Willow Rose Beads in 2021, which was awarded the first Amy Willier Memorial Award for Indigenous Artists, presented by Avenue Magazine’s Made in Alberta Awards.

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.
