It was a fun 3 days in Carmacks. I sure enjoyed my time with the youth and it was nice that some of the community members took part in some boxing. We did a wellness workshop, boxing and also Juijitus with the youth and It was an awesome group 🙂 🥊.

It was a very nice weekend in Prophet River, BC and today we make our way home. I would like to thank Lisa Wolf for inviting me to the community and also providing support with anything that was needed, also 'Gus' the awesome chef who provided delicious meals throughout the weekend. Throughout my travels since last year, I've met so many awesome people and there's just this sense of kindness that I feel whenever I travel to indigenous communities. Happy Thanksgiving to you all 🙂

I hope everyone is doing good and enjoy the beautiful fall colours. Last week I got invited to attend the spiritual week in Old Crow and I always thank them for inviting me to their community. It’s great to reconnect with the people, especially the youth. I decided to take some time off through the summer months just to slow down. It’s nice to do some travelling to the communities again and work with the youth. The phot just reminds us that sometimes we gotta take a moment to enjoy the colourful scenery and the peacefulness of the season 🍂

It was such a nice experience to travel to Norman Wells, Tulita and Deline. Travelling the communities and doing presentations to the students based on health and wellness, then sharing the importance of a healthy balance when it comes to sobriety. I always enjoy sharing my passion for boxing as well. It was extra special being able to share the experience of travelling through the Sahtu region with my Jijjuu Mary Effie (Grandmother) and also my Daughter Santana. I am looking forward to visiting the remaining Sahtu communities in the fall and inspiring the youth to focus on their education and continue to focus on a healthy lifestyle. A big thank you to Jessie Campbell and the SAHTU Divisional Education Council for the invitation to the schools. Everyone just made us feel right at home. It was a busy week travelling, but such an awesome experience.

It was a nice few days in Vuntat Gwichin Country (Old Crow, YT) attending the Youth Summit. I am sure grateful to be able to share my passion with the youth (boxing/jujitsu and help inspire our youth to live a healthy lifestyle and chase those dreams. I always feel so at home when I come to Old Crow. Beautiful people, delicious traditional food and good humour. In a few weeks I’ll be travelling again and I’m looking forward to visiting the communities of Normal Wells, Deline, Tulita, and Yellowknife 🙂.

This weekend, I'll be heading to my hometown of Fort Mcpherson to lead a Wellness Workshop for the youth and teach boxing and jujitsu in the evenings. If you have any youth who want to join me, please send them to the complex tomorrow evening. It's a great way to have fun while also learning new techniques and skills. It's always good vibes when I teach.
I'm looking forward to my trip back home and just sharing a bit of my passion with others 🙂. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to send me a message.

I hope you're all doing well and enjoying the beautiful weather as it starts to warm up. I recently got the opportunity to attend the Indigenous Health and Wellness Conference in Calgary, Alberta. There was a lot of positive energy throughout the week, and I was lucky to be able to attend the conference and learn from others. What made the trip even more memorable was the opportunity to sit down with Thosh Collins and simply talk about indigenous health and wellness. I started following Thosh on social media (Instagram) around 5 years ago, and I've always found motivation in his fitness videos as well as his insights about indigenous wellness. Here's a picture of myself, Thosh, and my friend Katelyn, who is also passionate about health and fitness.
