Chelsee Pettit has spent the last number of years rethinking her relationship with money. 

After founding Aaniin retail inc, the first Indigenous streetwear brand with a storefront in Treaty 13 territory in Tkaronto, with only $250, she’s experienced a whirlwind journey and countless lessons of reciprocity. She joins the Matriarch Movement to discuss why it can be so hard for Indigenous entrepreneurs to find capital, saying “no” to “opportunities”, and what it means to reclaim the Indigenous economy.
