Introducing your new favorite t-shirt straight from Tkaronto, Turtle Island (Toronto, Canada).
This design pays homage to the Indigenous roots of Toronto, with "Tkaronto" deriving from the Mohawk language, meaning 'where the trees are standing in the water.' It also features the Ojibwe greeting 'Boozhoo,' meaning 'Welcome,' and references Turtle Island, the name used by Indigenous peoples for North America before it was known as "America." The design creatively combines these elements to resemble a postcard greeting, saying 'Boozhoo, from TKARONTO, Turtle Island,' welcoming you in a style rich with history and cultural significance.
This design is a tribute to the art of subtle defiance, imbued with our brand's ethos of humor and understated resistance. Ideal for the individualist who values a touch of irony with their style, this design offers both a visual appeal and a nod to those in the know. Wear it to spark smiles, kindle conversations, and showcase your unique perspective.
Background: Our design draws inspiration from the influential legacy of streetwear and its cultural icons, adding a playful, tongue-in-cheek twist. We reimagine the familiar with a touch of humor, paying tribute to the way streetwear has woven itself into the fabric of urban lifestyle. What sets this homage apart is our use of the bold statement "Decolonize," paired with a striking font, a unique shade of red, and distinct rounded corners for a clean, polished look.

"Oh Canada, Our Home ON Native Land" – a modern reinterpretation of the national anthem, showcasing sleek, stylized typography that playfully yet meaningfully alters the original lyrics.
This design, conceived in 2021, echoes a sentiment long expressed by the Indigenous community, and pre-dates its broader recognition by the media in recent headlines.
"Nibi Bimaadiziwin" – in Ojibwe, this profound phrase translates to "Water is Life." This design, created by our inhouse Ojibwe Designer and Digital Artist, 'Emjee', emphasizes the sacredness of water and the imperative to protect it at all costs. It features a Mikinaak (turtle) at its center, symbolizing longevity and perseverance, surrounded by intricate Ojibwe floral patterns, representing the beauty and intricacy of life sustained by water. This artistic expression serves as a reminder of the vital role water plays in our existence and the responsibility we have to safeguard it.
This provocative design serves as our premier conversation starter, especially known for unsettling colonizers. Boldly declaring "You Are On Stolen Land," it confronts historical truths and sparks necessary dialogues about land rights and colonial history.

"Toronto," a name derived from the Mohawk word 'tkaronto,' translates to 'where the trees stand in the water.' In Ojibwe, 'Boozhoo' extends a warm 'Welcome,' connecting us to the rich Indigenous heritage of North America, once known as Turtle Island. Together, this design greets you with 'Boozhoo, from TKARONTO, Turtle Island,' echoing the timeless tradition of a postcard greeting.

Beautiful design and so soft - perfect!
I’m so happy with my purchase - it arrived earlier than expected and it is nice quality. It’s also important to support Indigenous-owned business instead of what you see on Amazon,etc.. - it’s worth it!

My new favourite hoodie.
I absolutely love this hoodie, the message "No pride in genocide" is exactly what my heart wants to scream from the rooftops, especially given what is happening in the world right now. The quality of the hoodie is excellent also. It's warm, soft and comfortable, it's my new favourite shirt. Miigwech

Fabulous!
I got this T-shirt for my son. The Medium fit him perfectly (He's 6'1", 175 lbs). The XL in another style worked well for my husband (5'10, and a fair bit more than 175 lbs, LOL). Very soft and comfortable, high quality, ordering was straightforward, and the T-shirts arrived very quickly. I'll be ordering more T-shirts and hoodies for my son soon!

Love my new T-shirt!
I ordered 4 shirts for my husband and kids (Indigenous), and me (an Ally). All fit really well, and are so soft and comfortable. My 4-year old nephew is learning to read and said to me "Why is the ON in red?", which gave me the opportunity to start a conversation with him about the history of Canada, and truth and reconciliation (at a 4-year old level of comprehension, of course).
