7 Grandfather Teachings One-Piece Swimsuit — Ribbon Teachings Swimwear
Wear the teachings. Honour the tradition.
The Seven Grandfather Teachings — Nibwaakaawin (Wisdom), Zaagi'idiwin (Love), Minaadendamowin (Respect), Aakode'ewin (Bravery), Gwayakwaadiziwin (Honesty), Dabaadendiziwin (Humility), Debwewin (Truth) — are sacred values gifted to the Anishinaabe people as a guide for living a good life in harmony with all of creation.
This one-piece swimsuit reimagines the ribbon skirt — a powerful symbol of Indigenous identity, resilience, and ceremony — in a bold, wearable form. The ribbon-stripe pattern flows across the suit the way ribbons cascade down a skirt: intentional, colourful, and full of meaning. Each stripe is a quiet nod to the teachings, a reminder to carry them with you wherever the water takes you.
Designed for those who want to honour Indigenous culture in a new-age, everyday way — this is swimwear with a story worth wearing.
