I was given the name Thunderbird for a reason. Thunderbird is a great communicator and protector unafraid to bring changes to the world and to speak the truth when something needs to be said. It took years for me to grow into my name and find the courage to step away from the comfort of my western job and return to my Indigenous roots. It was time to tell the truth about Turtle Island's First Nations people from a Native perspective, and so, I created what I think is a unique Canadian Indigenous company that celebrates all the world's people through a synchronicity of speeches, workshops, arts, education and dynamic entertainment. I am fortunate to have two wonderful sisters, one by blood (Kate), the other by heart (Sandy) who eagerly jumped on board with me. We laugh, we cry, we inspire, we imagine, we create and we believe. In case you are wondering what TEYA PEYA means, "Women Who Run With the North Wind." That is us, Thunderbird brings the wind that brings changes. We embrace all of them, change makes us stronger and wiser for the experiences, and, in turn, we share it all with our audiences. I bring my many years of entertainment and senior management expertise in providing a vehicle for offering compelling presentations that have a profound effect on contemporary life across the globe: stories, theatrical performances, music, workshops and educational/academic talks that breathe the songs of the Ancestors and hum with rhythms of the wisdom of the ages – indeed, stories that remind us how we ALL can face an uncertain future together in a holistic, kind and determined way. The Covenant and Power of the Matriarchy Lies in Our Humanity & Resonant Connection to the Earth

"Shannon's workshop gave employees a sense of value and safety. Her years of experience have given her profound insight into the world of work and the human coping factor (or lack of) in a fast paced world. Using her traditional Native teachings and extraordinary communication skills she offered very inspiring messages and in such a relevant and entertaining way!" (B. J. L., Motorola Canada, Toronto) |

look forward to having you back." |
