Treating Indigenous Artists & their Talent with Respect

I was recently asked if the Native or Indigenous Art gift items we carry are constructed ethically and if the artists are compensated properly. As much as I assumed they did and do, I needed to confirm for my own peace of mind.

Wonderful news and I am thrilled to see this laid out for all who are curious. It was a great question and thanks for asking.
