It's not every day you become the first Indigenous woman to own an airline in Canada. Her idea to build an Indigenous airline from scratch came during the 2010 winter Olympics when tourists from all over the world came to Vancouver. "There was a vision to connect those international travellers to Indigenous communities and showcase B.C. "It's great to see an Indigenous woman making this kind of statement, it's fabulous and I'm very excited," said Bell. Research conducted by the Canadian Owners and Pilots Association and the Canadian Aviation Historical Society indicate that there has never been an airline owned by an Indigenous woman.
