Are You Really Big Into Games? Have We Got an Idea for You!
We present to you a remarkable pair of sisters from Dakota Plains Wahpeton Oyate.
Tannis and Rayel Smoke are the creators and co-owners of Niña Waṡte Events. Niña Waṡte translates in the Dakota language to “Really Good.”
The Smoke sisters launched their business earlier this year, offering 15 giant interactive games for rent including cribbage, scrabble, and chess sets. They also created their own spin on Guess Who, featuring characters based on their family and friends.
More joyful than playing these wonderful games, is visiting with these enthusiastic and joyful entrepreneurs! Their collective spirit and positivity are beyond infectious, and we wish them continued growth and success.
To learn more be sure to visit Niña Waṡte on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Tik Tok pages. You can also visit their new website at www.ninawasteevents.ca
SCO is also showcasing artists from our 33 member Nations, celebrating their work as both culturally meaningful and part of a growing creative economy. From beadwork and painting to music, dance, drum making, and fashion, we highlight Indigenous artists and support entrepreneurship.
Visit our SCO Nation Artists page to explore their work, stories, and how to support them.
