Model and social work student Willow Allen and entrepreneur Kylik Kisoun Taylor have both been named recipients of 2023 Indspire awards.

Indspire, an Indigenous national charity, says its awards – now 30 years old – honour “First Nations, Inuit, and Métis individuals who demonstrate outstanding achievement across Turtle Island and beyond.”

Twelve winners were selected for 2023.

Kisoun Taylor wins the business and commerce award, having created Okpik Arctic Village – an immersive Inuit and Indigenous cultural experience on an island outside Inuvik – at the age of 19.

“His continual focus is social innovation, sustainable development, and community development, placing Indigenous values at the heart of everything he does,” reads a summary prepared by Indspire.
