SACRD THNDR is an Indigenous-owned and designed brand that celebrates the intersection of culture and high fashion.

Founded by Alex Manitopyes, a non-binary/trans masc fashion designer from Muskowekwan and Peepeekisis First Nation, SACRD THNDR embraces the art of Indigenous culture. Alex, born and raised in Mohkinstsis (Calgary, Alberta), draws inspiration from their cultural roots, infusing each accessory with meaning and trends.

The name SACRD THNDR is a nod to Alex's ancestor name, Manito pinaycee which means Sacred Thunderbird, signifying strength and resilience.

Back in the day the Cree Interpreter said Manito peeyesew and the Indian agent shortened it to Manitopyes..
