Nevaeh Emily North is 36 years old and a proud member of the Carrier Nation, born in Kelowna and raised in Prince George, British Columbia. Her journey hasn’t been easy — she spent almost 16 years incarcerated. Those years shaped her in deep and lasting ways. They were some of the hardest of her life, but they also gave her strength, perspective, and a powerful sense of purpose. Today, Nevaeh stands rooted in her culture and identity. She carries forward the teachings of her ancestors and the lessons learned through both pain and resilience. She passionate about healing, growth, and giving back to her community — especially to others who feel forgotten or silenced. Navaeh’s story is still unfolding, but she walks forward with honesty, pride, and hope.
