Featherstone Group, formerly Featherstone Support Services, was founded in 2013 by Jill Featherstone. Jill is the author of the Amazon #1 Bestseller, The Tale of Tiger Lily, the host of the Driving While Indigenous Podcast and a retired university professor. Jill also created Awaken the Spirit - Teaching our Youth to Stand on their Own, a motivational workshop that has helped thousands of Indigenous Youth uncover inner strengths, battle stigma, and gain confidence to empower themselves along life's journeys.

 

The motivation behind Driving While Indigenous was inspired by the hard work and commitment of the helping professionals who work tirelessly to better our communities, but who so often forget to nourish and rejuvenate their own spirits.

"We cannot tell our youth to chase their dreams if we are not chasing ours."

 

This event is designed to provide a platform for Indigenous people to share their stories and empower one another. Our goal is to create a space where people can support one another, foster growth, and inspire positive transformation.

 

On November 22, 2024 Featherstone Group will be hosting its 3rd Annual Driving While Indigenous Live Event & Gala. This event will feature an array of speakers, comedians, musicians and more for a day of motivation, laughter and celebration.

​

Please join us! You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll laugh again!

The full day event and gala are included in one price, which includes 2 plated meals! Tickets go on sale September 3rd, 2024.
