Woodland Fashion is an Indigenous-led fashion house dedicated to uplifting and empowering Indigenous youth through fashion, mentorship, and cultural storytelling. We believe that fashion is more than just clothing—it’s a powerful medium for identity, creativity, and self-expression.

Founded on the principles of tradition, innovation, and representation, our collective brings together Indigenous designers, artists, and creators to shape a future where Indigenous fashion is recognized, celebrated, and supported on a global scale.

Mission Statement
At Ocean Kiana, our mission is to create elegant, sustainable clothing that blends beauty with practicality, reflecting the Ojibway value of “Wnizhsid”—good, fine, useful, and beautiful. Each garment is crafted to honor both the Earth and the individual, designed for those who seek timeless, eco-friendly fashion. We’re committed to moving away from fast fashion, instead offering high-quality, lasting pieces that let you build a wardrobe you truly love and feel good about.

Vision Statement
Our vision is a world where Indigenous-led, eco-conscious fashion inspires a more sustainable and intentional approach to style. At Ocean Kiana, we aim to empower individuals to express themselves through clothing that is as beautiful and practical as it is kind to the planet. Honoring our cultural roots and practicing mindful craftsmanship, we strive to pioneer sustainable fashion that respects heritage and elevates ethical style.

About the Designer
Ocean Kiana is a Nishinaabe designer and artist from Northwestern Ontario, whose heritage and culture are at the heart of her work. Raised in the communities of Biigtigong Nishnaabeg (Pic River First Nation) and Netmizaagamig Nishnaabeg (Pic Mobert First Nation), Ocean infuses her designs with the values and traditions of her ancestors. A member of the Wolf Clan and known by her Anishinaabe name, White Butterfly, she brings both Indigenous culture and sustainable innovation to each piece, creating fashion that embodies resilience, beauty, and respect for the Earth.
