Kyana Kingbird is a 29 year-old Mi’kmaq and Ojibwe fancy shawl and jingle dress dancer, where her forms of dance are both textile wearable art as well as performance-centric.

Since Kyana was very young, she has been dedicated to perfecting her craft and wants to share her passion for dance and culture with the world. As a beadwork artist and seamstress, Kyana takes pride in creating her own regalia for herself and her family, intertwining the beauty between dance and art. Kyana strives to create an experience that allows those who aren’t intimately involved in the sport to understand how much heart and drive is behind it.
