Anna Nateweyes, a 22-year-old from Sandy Bay Saskatchewan and a member of the Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation, is one of 20 delegates participating in the 2026 Miss Indigenous Canada competition.
Miss Indigenous Canada is a leadership development and ambassador program, geared towards First Nations, Métis, and Inuit youth. The final event will be held on Six Nations of the Grand River, Ontario from July 20th-25th 2026.
Following past delegates on Facebook, Nateweyes said, “It was just something I’ve always wished that I can be a part of, my dream or what I wished for is true.”
When she initially applied for the competition, she was halfway through her pregnancy with her first child.
“I was really hesitant to apply because I was kind of afraid of having a big belly during the competition, but then I realized, even if I did have a big belly that’s fine because that’s something really special to me,” said Nateweyes.
Having just had her child a month ago, she said she is excited to take her baby girl with her to the competition and talk about her experience.
