The Story
The Dream That Started It All
My name is Bodeen Twoyoungmen and I am from Mînî Thnî, previously known as Stoney Nakoda Nation, located in Treaty 7 Territory in Alberta, Canada.
Siouxciety was born in 2018, a year that changed my life forever. After walking away from a hard lifestyle and choosing sobriety, I had a dream. In it, I saw an eagle, all black like a silhouette, and from it fell a single feather. Translucent, glowing with colors that reminded me of a sunset, or a rainbow. It fell right in front of me.
At the time, I didn't fully understand what it meant. But now I know...it was a sign of a new direction. A feather given to me.
In our culture, receiving a feather is one of the highest honours. It is a symbol of respect, of recognition, of earning your place. I earned my feather by changing my life. And Siouxciety is what grew from that moment.
The Creator Behind the Brand
I am a self-taught graphic designer with over 12 years of experience. What started as a passion became a purpose, creating logos, posters, and artwork for community events, building my own merch, and telling stories through design.
My work has been recognized far and wide! including by Nicki Minaj, one of my greatest inspirations. That moment reminded me that art has no borders, and neither does Siouxciety.
What Siouxciety Means
Siouxciety represents the gathering of all those who walk proud in their authenticity, proud of who they are and where they come from. Whether you're from different parts of Mother Earth, we are all one.
This brand is for the culture carriers, the dreamers, the ones who chose a new path. It's for anyone who has ever had to fight to find themselves...and won.
The Person Who Believed First
Behind every bold move is someone who believes in you first. My fiancé Juston has been an integral part of bringing Siouxciety to life, from helping craft the clothing to being the steady encouragement that gave me the confidence to put my work out into the world. He is my other feather. This brand isn't just mine, it's ours.
Thank you for supporting an Indigenous owned business. Every purchase, every project, every connection means the world. ❤️
