Hello everyone! My Blackfoot name is Gentle Woman. My English name is

Santia Bear Chief-Medicine Shield. I am Miss Siksika 2024-2025! I dance

Woman’s Fancy Shawl, I’m 21 years old, and I graduated High School in

2022. I was honoured to receive the Governor General’s Academic Medal

that same year, thanks to my impeccable grades. 

I recently graduated from

Eton College in Vancouver, British Columbia. Eton College is a private

institution that specializes in preparing young ladies for the tough job of

being a Flight Attendant. I moved away in 2023 to pursue my dreams of

wanting to travel the world and visit every country. I am now a certified

Flight Attendant! However, I will be returning back to school to attend

University for my Degree in Law after I give up my crown next summer. I

want to be a Criminal Defense Laywer. 

I will be applying to University of

Toronto, University of British Columbia, and McGill University. My parents

are Brandi and Joey Bigtobacco. My grandmother, Alvina Bearchief raised

me, I’ve been beside her all my life. I love to travel, dance and sing. I dance

for my family, for those who can’t, and for those we lost.

It was such an honour to have been chosen as the new title of Miss

Siksika. I will wear my crown with Respect, Love, and Kindness.

Thank you to all my family and friends for encouraging me to run for

Princess, I wouldn’t have done it without my HUGE support system.

I can’t wait to get out there and start being an Ambassador for Our Nation!

I want to encourage Our Youth to chase their dreams, travel the world while

they’re still young and have their whole lives ahead of them. Most

importantly, I want to encourage them to stay in school. Education is our

Buffalo: Providing us with so many Opportunities, Knowledge, Food,

Clothes, and Shelter. I am proud to be from Siksika Nation and I can’t wait

to be an excellent role model for our nation as a whole.
