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. Melissa Peter-Paul, a Mi'kmaw artist, infuses her quillwork into this design, reflecting her journey from apprentice to professional. Experience the essence of Indigenous creativity and heritage with this limited edition wearable masterpiece. About the Art "This piece reflects my journey to becoming a professional Mi'kmaw quill artist. When I first learned to quill, I worked on small pieces to develop my skills and the connections required to be open to design inspiration. I completed this piece in 2019, the same year that I debuted as a professional, and I feel deeply connected to it because it reflects the transition from being an apprentice to a quill worker. I am very proud of this piece, and it continues to inspire me to create larger, more complex designs, as my grandmothers did before me." - Melissa Peter-Paul

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.
