Myia Antone is a proud youth from Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation), with Ukrainian and Norwegian roots. Growing up in Squamish, she explored and loved taking care of the land that her ancestors have occupied since time immemorial. She is currently a student in an advanced Squamish language program and loves learning the language her ancestors spoke.
She is a Wilderness First Responder and has led canoe and hiking trips for Indigenous youth around BC and down the Yukon river. She currently sits on the Board of Directors for the Indigenous Life Sport Academy and learning how to mountain bike, climb and backcountry ski!
When she’s not in school, you can find Myia hiding in the mountains, swimming in the ocean, trying to pet everyone’s dog or falling asleep during a movie.
