Doreen “Ksisskaniitsowaakii”

Little Shields

Born April 29, 1940

Passed away September 23, 2022

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, wife, aunt, great-aunt, great-great aunt, cousin and friend, Doreen Little Shields (Nee Goodstriker) “Ksisskaniitsowaakii – Morning Beauty Woman”, beloved wife of George Little Shields. She began her spirit journey when she peacefully passed away at the Kainai Continuing Care Center on Friday, September 23, 2022.

Doreen is survived by her loving family: her husband George; her daughters Ruby (Clark) Tailfeathers, Trudy Freeman, and Maryann Fox; eight grandchildren Jewel, Chrissy May, Skyler, Craig, Danielle, Stephen, Nolan and Queenie; ten great-grand sons Christopher, Atticus, Marvin, Antoine, Leonard, Scotty, Kenneth, Jory, Dakota and Tyler; step-children Lance (Twyla), Yolanda (Darryl), Cory, and Tanya; many step- grandchildren and great-grandchildren; numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family. She also has her dear sisters Laura, Rita and Sally, to name a few.

Doreen is pre-deceased by her parents Frank and Marion Goodstriker; all of her siblings Frank, Queenie, Rufus, Mary, Marjorie, Irene, Dorothy, George, James, (Eileen and Ruby died in infancy), and Marion; her son Marvin, seven nieces, four nephews, and numerous family members before her.

Doreen grew up in Kainaissksaahkoyi (Blood Reserve), attending St. Paul’s Residential School from the age of five to sixteen. In her last year, she was crowned the St. Paul’s School Indian Princess. In the summer of 1957, she was sponsored by the Rotary Club as a candidate for the Miss America (Indian) Queen at Sheridan, Wyoming. She then attended Mount Royal in Calgary afterwards in a secretarial course. When her children were young she was a fantastic stay-at-home mom and homemaker, who had great skill in sewing many of the clothes that she and her children wore. As her children got older, she took a job at the Blood Indian Hospital, as the Assistant Head of Housekeeping, and worked there for many years until she retired. She had a very close relationship with all those she worked with at the hospital, as well as with the patients there. In many ways she was part housekeeper, part nurse, and always a compassionate friend.

Doreen had many talents, interests and pursuits. She created numerous powwow outfits, moccasins, beadwork and regalia for many people throughout the years. She loved to travel and explore new places and things. She went to Germany, Mexico, and to many places in the USA and Canada. She was very crafty and for a time she developed her skill in ceramics, had her own shop, and even taught classes for it. She had an entrepreneurial spirit and won numerous awards for achieving the highest sales and community leadership in Avon and Regal. As a breast cancer survivor herself, she was recognized for her involvement in Breast Cancer Awareness activities and promotions. She was chosen to plant the last of the 2000 pink tulip bulbs in the breast cancer memorial garden at Henderson Lake Park, as part of a Canada-wide initiative. You can see these pink tulips blossom every spring at the southwest corner of the park. She would always help out at the Akoka’tsin (Sundance), bringing berry soup, food and gifts, whatever was needed. What really interested her was spreading joy and her tireless love of doing for others, being kind and making people smile. She would always show us kindness, compassion and love and tell us it’s what my mom taught me, Kimmapiiyipitsini.

The family would like to thank the nurses and medical staff at the Kainai Continuing Care Center, Renate Goodstriker, Dr. Shay Eagle Bear and many others who cared for and attended to her needs. Much appreciation is extended to you all.

The Wake Service will be held on Sunday, October 2, 2022 at Senator Gladstone Hall, Blood Reserve, Alberta from 7:00 – 11:00 pm. The Funeral Service will be held at Senator Gladstone Hall, Blood Reserve, Alberta on Monday, October 3, 2022 at 11:00 am with interment at Blood Band Cemetery.
