‘It has been my dream since I was a little girl,’ says 14-year-old Wabiguin Bearskin from Chisasibi, Que.

Wabiguin Bearskin knew very early in life that she wanted to be a model.

Recently, she’s been moving closer to her dream. In April, she won a modelling and beauty pageant — the Miss Teen Ambassador Canada Nation Universe 2023 — making her the first Cree from Eeyou Istchee to hold the title.

And in August, the 14-year-old won an “impactful artist award” from her home community of Chisasibi, Que., located 1,400 kilometres north of Montreal.

“This is very important to me, it has been my dream since I was a little girl. My biggest goal is to appear in Vogue,” said Bearskin.

The Miss Teen Ambassador Canada Nation Universe pageant is organized by Miss US Nation, which organizes a series of pageants for children as young as three all the way through adults.
