She was known across the Treaty #3 Pow Wow trail for her stellar jingle dress dance style, she held the status of royalty as Migisi Sahgaigan Princess within the Pow Wow arbour for numerous consecutive years and represented her First Nation at various Pow Wows across the Treaty #3 Territory. Her laughter and humor was contagious and she often accompanied her mother to political meetings where she was being groomed to begin a path for advocating indigenous issues. Shyanne was a star student of Migisi Sahgaigan School for her academic achievements, attendance and for being respectful to teachers and students. Shyanne took part in many activities such as karate, dance and was active at Migisi Sahgaigan Community Events. Shyanne rarely missed a Dryden GM Ice Dogs game, she also enjoyed watching Oklahoma City Thunder & Golden State Warriors and the Green Bay Packers. The sudden loss of Shyanne will have long lasting effects and her presence in class will be missed by her group of close knit friends at Migisi Sahgaigan School. Students will miss her laugh, her knowledge and her friendly loving spirit. Shyanne will be missed and was deeply loved by many uncles, aunts and cousins.
