We are so excited to welcome Ashley Michel of 4 Generations Creations to the Inspiring Future Generations panel at ITC Cache Creek this month! 🙏🌿

Ashley is the heart and creative force behind a business built on culture, craftsmanship, and the power of generational knowledge. Every piece she creates carries meaning — honouring the traditions of those who came before her while lighting the path for those who come after.

She's a maker, a cultural keeper, and a passionate advocate for Indigenous voices — and we can't wait to hear her story on stage at Hat Creek Ranch.

📅 April 21–23, 2026 | Hat Creek Ranch
