Miss Manito Ahbee
Chloe Goodwill, Yohtin Iskwew (Wind Woman), is the proud Miss Manito Ahbee Youth Ambassador. A proud band member of Nekaneet First Nation (Treaty 4) with roots in Kinonjeoshtegon First Nation. Chloe embraces her Plains Cree, Anishinaabe, Dakota, and Lakota heritage with pride and reverence.
Raised in Winnipeg, Chloe grew up in the powwow circle and dances Dakota women’s traditional with grace and intention, honoring the teachings of her elders and ancestors. Deeply rooted in ceremony, Chloe carries the values of balance, prayer, and purpose, as passed down through her family’s traditions from both Cree and Dakota/Lakota ceremonial lines.
A student at St. James Collegiate (Winnipeg) and a member of the Indigenous Youth Council, Chloe is committed to education, leadership, and community wellness. Her advocacy is deeply personal, motivated by the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and her own family's experience with a missing relative.
Chloe dances and leads for all Indigenous youth, embodying strength, love, and humility. Through her ambassadorship, she strives to empower young women to embrace their identities and lead with pride, balance, and hope.
