ʔa x̣est sx̣lx̣alt! Hello, good day!
My name is Sophia Turning Robe, and I proudly represent the Pauquachin First Nation, Siksika Nation, and Spokane Tribe of Indians as your 2025–2026 Miss Indian Northwest. I am honored to serve as a goodwill ambassador for our tribal communities across the Northwest and beyond.
I’m reaching out to humbly ask for your financial support. During my reign, I will travel across the country to attend cultural gatherings, national conferences, leadership summits, and youth programs. My platform centers around two deeply personal priorities: empowering Native youth through higher education and promoting sustainable economic development in Indian Country.
To help carry out this mission, I’ve partnered with Native Business Center, a federally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to Indigenous wellness and empowerment. All donations are tax-deductible and will directly support travel costs, tribal outreach, and participation in cultural events throughout the Northwest and nationwide.
Your financial support would enable me to represent our communities with integrity, pride. It would also help me amplify Indigenous voices on a national stage and share the beauty of our traditions and values.
Thank you for standing behind me as I begin this journey. Your support empowers me to walk this path with strength and purpose. I look forward to a year filled with meaningful representation and service to our tribal communities.
Note: Include “Representative Title Support – Sophia Turning Robe” in the memo line. A formal receipt will be provided for all contributions.

The Miss Indian Northwest pageant is the oldest Native American pageant representing all Pacific Northwest tribes since 1969. Created by Barbara Alatorre (Farmer) of the Klamath Tribes and Yakama Nation, it was envisioned as a prestigious leadership role for one young tribal woman to serve as a goodwill ambassador for all Northwest tribes.
