Miss Chief Rocka is a nēhiyaw accessory & apparel brand, established in 2012, by award winning Hip-hop and Powwow dancer Angela “Lunacee” Gladue who is from the Treaty 6 Territory of amiskwaciwâskahikan (Edmonton, AB).

Angela is a proud member of Frog Lake First Nation who ‘blendz’ traditional beadwork technique into club-wear concepts to create original one of a kind statement pieces she’s dubbed ‘Club Bangaz’’ with some of the freshest looks for the flyest people.

Her beadwork has been featured at A Space Gallery in Toronto and the Âjagemô in Ottawa in a double exhibition titled: ‘’Thunderstruck: Physical Landscapes’ where she was invited to feature one of her beaded Boom Box medallion’s, originally made in tribute to her late brother Tony “Anthem” Gladue, which has since been added to the collection of Art Bank Canada.
