I looked and looked for a shirt by an indigenous owned company that was soft and comfortable. This shirt was exactly what I hoped for. It cost a little more, but you get what you pay for. This shirt isn't a cheap, heavy shirt; it looks good and feels good. It did take a while for it to arrive, but the company was clear about that in advance. I will order from Resist again!
Our purpose
With bold and artistic apparel, we elevate underrepresented voices, raise awareness, and drive transformative change
Our Brand
Resist Clothing Company is an Indigenous-owned and pioneering streetwear label based in Tkaronto (Toronto/Treaty 13 Territory), a city known for its diverse history and culture. Now home to many peoples, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, Anishinaabeg, Chippewa, Haudenosaunee, and Wendat peoples.
Our history
Founded in 2020 by Mitch Gegwetch; Ojibwe and a registered member of Sagamok First Nation. This journey began with a DIY printed 'F*CK Colonialism' shirt worn at local events in Toronto Ontario. This provocative design turned heads and started conversations, highlighting a gap in the market of bold Indigenous streetwear.

BLack Crow Feather / Included in all Resist logos
Branding
In Ojibwe culture, the crow symbolizes new beginnings, intelligence, adaptability, and foresight. These values guide our brand in aiming for positive change and a brighter, more inclusive future.
The black crow feather, our symbol of resistance, strength, and resilience, now embraces a broader mission. It represents our struggle against oppression and our collective journey towards transformation.
Our goal is to make the Black Crow Feather a symbol of Indigenous resistance and a united front in the global movement for positive change.
