Ashley Callingbull has made history.
The model from Enoch Cree Nation in Alberta is the first Indigenous winner of Miss Universe Canada and will go on to compete for the country on the pageant world stage.
Callingbull previously broke barriers when she became the first Canadian and Indigenous person to win Mrs. Universe in 2015 and the first Indigenous woman to appear as a “Sports Illustrated” model in 2022.
“This is the most surreal feeling. I’ve been chasing this dream for years and I’m still in awe that it really came true,” Callingbull wrote in a social media post.
“Representation truly matters because when one of us wins, we all win”
