To deny change as the only constant is to turn our back on life. We are here to embrace change and hold a light to the path. Welcome.

Hello everyone! Thank you for being a part of this amazing new company.

Our main focus is bringing awareness and support that is duely needed with in Indigenous communities. Whether it's mental health support, a sense of belonging, or help with recovery and addiction.

We will be releasing a new line which is derived from Icon. Using Icon to create and develop the foundation to construct an entirly new work environment and product manufacturing.

Using local artists, giving them the royalties of their art and producing their art work at mass quantities, printed and or intertwined with our products.
We have 2 brand new Indigenous artists we have brought onto our team, both with amazing stories and back grounds and are looking to add more in a few months time. Providing jobs and purpose to those who have struggled.
Working with Cheifs from reserves all across Saskatchewan to ensure our new products maintain a traditional aspect to them. Whether it's with teachings, beadwork, traditional fashion, etc.

Our main goal is to not only bring in Indigenous artists which are local but with those artists brings hope for other youths who struggle with mental health, addiction and recovery.

We hope that you will take part in watching this brand new and amazing company form. We are nothing but eager and excited to make the changes and provide the supports needed with in the communities to ensure a thriving future for our youth.

- Thank you, with Peace and Love
Admin, Kiera Niessen

PARTNERSHIP WITH ANISHINABEK ELDERS
This past spring Icon Shoes partnered with Pelly Agency Anishinabek Elders of Kamsack to support their therapeutic on-the-land camp. The camps are elder-led and and with use of their culture, language, traditions and ceremonies create healing and wholesome essential to those who struggle.
"The whole issue of the teachings of the culture, traditions, is the issue of the loss of identity of our children, the loss of our language," said Anishinabek elder, Ted Quewezance.
Icon Shoes is selling decals and pins to commemorate those affected by residential schools. The proceeds will go towards the elders to support their programs. The company's marketing division, Icon Media, will also help entrepreneurs from Kamsack and other areas market their products, to help contribute to an on-reserve economy.
"It's our responsibility as leaders, to try to fill that gap and that's why I'm really excited about this partnership," said Chief of Keeseekoose First Nation, Lee Kitchemonia
