Vina Brown ƛ̓áqvas gḷ́w̓aqs (Haíłzaqv and Nuučaan̓uɫ) Is the co-founder of Rooted Resiliency. Her ancestral Haíłzaqvḷa name is ƛ̓áqvas gḷ́w̓aqs, which roughly translates to Copper Canoe Woman. Rooted Resiliency was founded by Vina Brown and Anna Leigh Brady, who shared a vision of creating a space where Indigenous traditions and holistic healing practices could come together to foster resilience and empowerment. Inspired by their rich cultural heritage and the wisdom of their elders, artists, and knowledge keepers, they recognized the need for a community-centered approach to wellness. Vina Brown is also the owner and artist at Copper Canoe Woman Creations, where she creates modern, on-trend, Indigenous jewelry that’s infused with elements of her coastal Indigenous culture and identity.
