theland Kicknosway Biography

Theland Kicknosway is a proud member of Walpole Island First Nation, Bkejwanong Territory, but calls the unceded Algonquin Territory of Ottawa his home. A traditional singer, drummer, and both a grass and hoop dancer, Theland Kicknosway has dedicated his life to preserving and sharing Indigenous culture. Theland Kicknosway is also an active member of Families of Sisters in Spirit, a grassroots organization providing vital support to First Nation, Inuit, and Métis families impacted by missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit people (MMIWG2S).

From a young age, Theland Kicknosway demonstrated leadership and deep pride in his heritage. In the third grade, Theland Kicknosway wrote a letter to his school advocating for an annual pow wow, emphasizing its educational and cultural value. His passion and initiative led to Century Public School hosting this celebration annually, fostering greater understanding and community connection.

In 2018, Theland Kicknosway became the youngest Indspire Laureate recognized for Culture, Heritage, and Spirituality, a testament to his contributions to Indigenous communities. His work has gained widespread attention, with features in CBC Arts, CBC News, Flare, Teen Vogue, Complex, and Huffington Post Canada. On TikTok, under the moniker @the_land, Theland Kicknosway has become a significant voice in the Indigenous community, with nearly 400,000 followers and over 9.3 million “likes,” playing a vital role in the #NativeTikTok movement.

This summer, Theland Kicknosway completed his 7th annual Run/Bike for MMIWG2S, titled “Theland’s Journey.” Beginning in Vancouver, British Columbia, and concluding in Gatineau Park, Quebec, this cross-country journey was a long-anticipated dream of Theland’s. The event raised critical awareness about violence against Indigenous women and Two-Spirit people, advocated for Indigenous youth, and inspired transformative change. In 2017, during his third annual journey, Theland Kicknosway completed a 130-kilometer run from Ottawa to Kitigan Zibi in partnership with Families of Sisters in Spirit to amplify these important issues.

Beyond his advocacy, Theland Kicknosway is a mentor and leader at KAIROS, where for over five years Theland Kicknosway has educated more than 1,500 Indigenous and non-Indigenous participants about the realities faced by Indigenous youth in Canada. Theland Kicknosway is also a prominent facilitator of the KAIROS Blanket Exercise, teaching the history and culture of Indigenous peoples.

Additionally, Theland Kicknosway offers teachings and leads round dances for LGBTQ2S youth at the Canadian Centre for Gender and Sexual Diversity. His work continues to break barriers, inspire hope, and create understanding, making Theland Kicknosway a beacon of resilience and leadership for Indigenous communities and beyond.
