Charli Rae Hill, also known by Ganöndi:ye’s—which translates to “Mountains will part ways for her” or “She will move mountains”—is a fashion model and an enrolled member of the Seneca Nation, Wolf Clan. Whether she is introduced by her English name or her traditional name, what matters most to her is remaining grounded in who she is and where she comes from.
Charli Rae has walked fashion platforms across North America, including First Peoples Fashion Show (Colorado), Fashion Art Toronto, Indigenous New York Fashion Week, Seeing Red Media's Runway of Rezilience, Native Fashion Week Santa Fe, Akwesasne Indigenous Fashion Show, and Seneca Indigenous Fashion Show. Her editorial work includes a cover of First American Art Magazine (Winter ’25 Issue) and an editorial feature in ** DRY Magazine (Issue #30)**, where she modeled luxury fashion pieces by Chanel, Giorgio Armani, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, CELINE, ATELIER EMÉ, and Levi’s, styled specifically for the editorial.
She continues to grow her experience across runway, editorial, commercial, campaigns, and e-commerce, and has worked with Indigenous designers and labels including Tisha Thompson, Lindsay King, Ocean Kiana, Dante Biss-Grayson, Stacey Mitchell, and Wabanoonkwe, among others who center culture, story, and craftsmanship. In addition to Indigenous fashion spaces, Charli Rae also works with non-Indigenous brands, including Heali Medical, expanding her commercial and campaign experience across industries.
Charli Rae is signed with Lang Models and Nomad West. Rooted in culture and guided by community, she carries her identity with pride—on and off the runway—and hopes to encourage others to chase their dreams, whether in modeling, sports, music, theater, or any path they are passionate about. She believes that if you can dream it, you can do it.
