Winning big on the international stage!

Enoch Cree Nation woman Ashley (Callingbull) Burnham became the first Canadian and first First Nation’s woman to be crowned Mrs. Universe. She took the title at the pageant in Belarus on Aug. 29. . Said Burnham, 25, on her Facebook page, “Representing First Nations on the international stage was the best feeling in the world. I'm so proud to be Mrs. Universe 2015.” In the national outfit parade of the competition, Burnham wore a jingle dress in white and red, prominently displaying maple leafs, and for the talent competition, she wore a buckskin dress and performed a traditional dance. Burnham is an actress, model and former Miss Universe Canada contestant.
