Born and raised in Montana, Colter Pedersen enjoys the idea of the
outdoors from the comfort of the indoors. Almost handsome and just
shy of charming, his know-it-all attitude has tested the patience of
many. But in a fun way.
"ere is something wild and seling at the same time about Montana," Overgaard reflects.
"I spent a lot of time in Africa, and Africa is where I initially had any desire to change
everything. I want to wake up in the morning and see wildlife. I want to wake up in the
morning and feel free. Africa is where I felt that way, but what's cool about that is when you're
driving on safari in a jeep across the landscapes of Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, I don't know
what it is, but I look out there and feel so connected to Montana when I am there. It's a very
similar vibe, and still not as good because there you are going to get eaten by something if
you go for a walk," she says with a laugh. "It's rugged, and it's real."
Kristi Overgaard has indeed forged a sanctuary that mirrors the raw and unrefined beauty
of the landscapes that inspired her. Oniya offers a 'dirt first' approach, intimately reconnecting
its visitors with both the land and the untamed spirit of nature, all set beneath Montana's
vast, open skies.

"We allow them to be in nature at whatever speed they want to be at," says Overgaard. "And I think
that is what is most powerful about Oniya."
