This year’s Miss Indigenous Canada, Gena Boubard, represents a new way to think about wearing a sash. “In the past, there was a strong focus on external beauty, but here they are looking for substance—for how involved in community you are, for leadership,” says Boubard, a 24-year-old Anishinaabe from Sagkeeng First Nation in Treaty 1 territory.
The makeup artist, model and advocate for Two-Spirit youth, who has previously competed in Miss World Canada, was crowned on July 26. “Being a part of the pageant was beautiful. The way we supported each other was very powerful.”
