Rise Consulting

Blending ancestral and contemporary Michif knowledge, Ducharme’s work explores Métis history, subverting colonial ideas of gender, queerness and place. Recognized for handwoven embroidery and Métis iconography, their work has appeared in National Geographic, The Globe and Mail, Vogue.com and more. Their costume designs were featured in Skyborn (2020) and You Used to Call Me Marie (2022 and 2024). Ducharme has also presented at Toronto and Vancouver Indigenous Fashion Weeks. To view one of their latest designs, check out yesterday's LinkedIn post where Rise Consulting team member Annie Korver, MBA, GCB.D wore a dress designed by Ducharme to the EY Entrepreneur of the Year awards gala last week!

October 14 is a day to celebrate the rich diversity of Indigenous People within Turtle Island since time immemorial. The adoption of National Indigenous Peoples Day for our friends and cousins in what we now call the United States was proclaimed in 2021 and counters the federal holiday, Christopher Columbus Day. A “New World” was not discovered in 1492. One of the first celebrations of this Day took place on October 10, 1992, in Berkeley, California - marking 500 years of resistance. This year marks 532 years of resistance and counting. Indigenous People have and will continue to, sustain vibrant and diverse cultures, languages and knowledge across generations on this land. We encourage the continual curiosity and unlearning of Columbus Day myths, and for attention to be redirected to support, uplift and celebrate Indigenous Peoples across Turtle Island. #NIPD
