ABOUT MALLORY YAWNGHWE

Indigenous Box is owned and operated by CEO Mallory Yawnghwe. Guided by great purpose, this formerly shy and nervous girl from the Saddle Lake Cree Nation #125 has accomplished things that she never believed to be possible. 

Mallory, of the first generation in her family to not attend residential school, earned her Bachelor of Commerce in Supply Chain Management. She honed her Supply Chain Management skills and shared her knowledge and community connections as a consultant for various projects. Now Mallory has taken on her biggest challenge yet: Indigenous Box Inc.
