Native Bidaské with Magan Kateri Basque (Mi’kmaq): First Indigenous Winner, Miss Canada United World
Join us for an exclusive Native Bidaské as host Levi Rickert delves into a captivating interview with Magan Kateri Basque, a Mi’kmaq woman from the Eskasoni First Nation in Nova Scotia. Witness the remarkable journey of Magan, who etched her name in history by becoming the first Indigenous woman crowned winner of the 2023 Miss Canada United World Pageant.
Magan Kateri Basque’s commitment to Indigenous women was exemplified through her symbolic choice of a red sequin dress, representing Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. Raised in a single-mother household, Magan draws inspiration from her son Deluca and embarked on her pageantry journey in 2015 under the mentorship of Ashley Callingbull, the first Canadian Indigenous Mrs. Universe. Beyond her title, Magan is an entrepreneur managing a dispensary and pursuing studies in makeup artistry. Her focus remains on supporting Indigenous women in poverty through initiatives like “Culture for a Cause,” where she crafts traditional beaded earrings to benefit the Native Women’s Association of Canada.
Despite her numerous accomplishments, Magan Kateri Basque confronts the harsh reality of racism on social media. Furthermore, she is poised to achieve another milestone by gracing the runway at New York Fashion Week in February, a dream made possible with the support of a fellow Miss United winner.
