The Lindsay King Foundation
Our Story
The Lindsay King Foundation was founded in 2025 by designer and advocate Lindsay King, following two decades in Indigenous social work and foster parenting. After years of supporting children, families, and communities, Lindsay pursued her lifelong dream of fashion design — merging her artistry with advocacy to create meaningful change. The foundation grew out of this journey, carrying forward a vision where creativity becomes a tool for healing, empowerment, and cultural restoration.
Who We Serve
The Lindsay King Foundation is an Indigenous-led nonprofit dedicated to repairing the cultural and artistic damage caused by the residential school era, while revitalizing the beauty, creativity, and resilience of Indigenous peoples. At the heart of our mission is collective healing — restoring culture and strengthening communities through art, mentorship, advocacy, life coaching, and storytelling through keynote speaking that inspires personal and collective transformation.
What We Offer
Through education, life coaching, keynote speaking, creative workshops, and opportunities for artistic expression, we empower Indigenous communities to reclaim both their creative voices and their personal narratives. By fostering pride in cultural identity, supporting emotional and generational healing, and nurturing the next generation of creative leaders, we aim to heal the wounds of the past and inspire a future where Indigenous artistry, storytelling, and lived brilliance are honored, celebrated, and sustained.
Bag Making
Bag Making
Hands-on sessions where participants learn to design and sew their own Pendleton® wool bag. More than a technical workshop, these sessions are rooted in storytelling —
Lindsay shares her journey as a designer and the cultural significance of working with fabric, pattern, and craft. Each workshop is an invitation to slow down, connect with heritage, and create something lasting.
By blending practical skills with cultural storytelling, participants leave empowered and inspired, carrying with them a new creative skill.
The Red Collective: Empowerment Through Fashion & Storytelling
The Red Collective: Empowerment Through Fashion & Storytelling
The Red Collective is a one-day masterclass that unites fashion, advocacy, and healing. Designed to uplift Indigenous peoples and spark creativity, the program invites participants to step into The Red Collection for an editorial photoshoot that restores pride and visibility.
More than a photoshoot, it is a transformative experience. Through storytelling and dialogue, participants are given space to share their voices, connect with community, and reclaim visibility. Reflective journaling, values-based exercises, and goal-setting activities deepen the process — helping participants explore identity, build confidence, and envision their futures.
The program empowers each individual while raising awareness and advancing MMIW prevention — leaving a lasting impact of resilience, hope, and renewed strength.
