Louie Gong (Nooksack) was raised by his grandparents in Ruskin B.C. and the Nooksack tribal community. As a small child living in a home with no running water, he would help his Chinese grandpa collect buckets of drinking water from a nearby spring and then help his Native grandma (Nooksack, Squamish) make bannock on their Coleman camp stove. Although these early experiences lie in stark contrast with his astonishing success, Louie would tell you that they guide his decisions as an educator, nationally recognized mixed race activist, and founder of Eighth Generation where he merges influences from his mixed heritage and urban environment to design his highly sought-after, hand-drawn custom shoes.
