Celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day by Purchasing From These 18 Real Artists

We should honour the rich history and culture of the Native Americans on this Indigenous Peoples Day. One way that each of us can help the community is to shop a wide variety of real Indigenous brands for home items, jewellery, beauty products, and ready-to-wear.

Major gatherings like the Indigenous Fashion Arts festival in Toronto and the Santa Fe Indian Market showcase how modern Indigenous craftsmen are reinterpreting their cultural traditions in fresh and fascinating ways. There has always been a tendency for fashion to appropriate Indigenous designs, so now is the perfect time to support products that are manufactured with authenticity.

Born x Raised and Indigenous Enterprise have collaborated on a new jumper; intricate jewellery from Indigenous labels like Nanibaa Beck and Cody Sanderson; Section 35 and Jamie Okuma, the first Native designer inducted into the CFDA, have graphic apparel; and Cheekbone Beauty and Prados Beauty, among others, have beauty products.

There is something for everyone, whether it be household items, beauty, or fashion. Get set to shop!
