Why buy from Indigneous makers?

Buying from Indigenous makers is crucial for supporting cultural preservation, as it helps sustain traditional craftsmanship, stories, and knowledge passed down through generations. It also promotes economic empowerment within Indigenous communities, fostering self-sufficiency and resilience against systemic inequalities. Additionally, purchasing directly from Indigenous artisans ensures authenticity and ethical sourcing, countering cultural appropriation while respecting the original creators.
