Indigenous Fashion Takes the Moon: Ashley Callingbull and Stephanie Eagletail's Cosmic Adventure!

Prepare for a truly cosmic mission as incredible Indigenous art is set to make history by heading straight to the moon! 🚀 Forget terrestrial achievements, it’s time to talk about how one former Miss Universe Canada is plotting to leave our stratosphere in style!

Ashley Callingbull, our trailblazing beauty queen, is teaming up with the talented Dine-Cree designer, Stephanie Eagletail, to participate in the mind-blowing Project Lunar Codex. This daring initiative will rocket cultural artifacts to the lunar surface aboard a NASA space capsule in January 2025. Are you ready for the moon to have a wardrobe upgrade?

Imagine Callingbull strutting her stuff on the lunar runway in Eagletail’s fabulous designs! It's not just a leap for fashion but a giant step for Indigenous culture too. "Am I becoming an astronaut?" Callingbull quipped. The stars seem to agree, Ashley, as now, your footprint will be immortal among them!

Eagletail’s creations, inspired by her great-grandmothers, take this lunar leap as a tribute to Indigenous resilience. "It's my stuff on the moon," she marveled. A starry intersection of heritage and innovation!

The Lunar Codex isn’t just about sending art; it’s about safeguarding creativity and culture against earthly challenges. Among the treasures heading to the moon is the revered work of Norval Morrisseau. However, Morrisseau's legacy has been marred by forgery scandals, exposing a troubling blend of cultural theft and misrepresentation.

"Reparations now!" insists Callingbull, urging recognition for Morrisseau’s pioneering authenticity. But before lunar launch, Callingbull and Eagletail are determined to tour Morrisseau’s story across Canada, shedding light on the plight of Indigenous art with a clarion call for justice and authenticity.

As the duo paves the way for a brighter, more inclusive tomorrow, they're rallying support from fellow Canadians. Let's champion their tour, preserve Morrisseau's real masterpiece, and send a signal to the galaxies that Indigenous brilliance shines both on Earth and among the stars!
