miyo-pimâtisiwin // the good life

Miyo-pimâtisiwin is a Cree and Michif teaching that translates to “the good life.” Its meaning runs deeper than health or happiness - it speaks to a way of living that is rooted in balance, respect, and connection.

To live miyo-pimâtisiwin means walking a path of integrity, honouring your spirit, caring for your body, nurturing your relationships, and respecting the land. It is about living in harmony with yourself, your community, and the natural world - not striving for perfection, but striving for balance.

A Way of Life

Miyo-pimâtisiwin is a lifelong journey. It’s found in the everyday choices we make: the way we speak to others, the kindness we show, the healing we seek, and the stories we pass on. It’s a reminder that wellness is not just physical, but emotional, spiritual, and cultural.

In many Indigenous communities, miyo-pimâtisiwin is taught as a foundational principle - a path to wellness that includes knowing who you are, where you come from, and how to live in a good way with all your relations.

In Our Designs

When we honour miyo-pimâtisiwin through our clothing, we carry that teaching into our daily lives. It becomes a reminder that we are enough, that healing is possible, and that we are part of something bigger than ourselves.
