Description

The message behind this design is simple; skin tone does NOT define your Indigenous identity. We come in all shapes, sizes, and skin tones. 

This design is for all connected and reconnecting natives alike.

It is a design for all who have had to defend their Indigeneity simply because they did not "look the part"; it is also for those who have always defended this stance!

Whatever your story is, never stop learning your language, never stop dancing, never stop connecting, and never stop nurturing the community, even if sometimes the community doesn't nurture you, because if you let it stop you, the genocide of Indigenous people prevails. 

 

• 100% Premium ringspun cotton. The new softest t-shirt in your wardrobe.
• Pre-shrunk
• Ethically sourced, sustainably printed and shipped from within Turtle Island.

great design, mediocre quality

Love love love the design and message behind this shirt. The quality of the shirt itself is mediocre at best though and the delivery service they used delivered the package to the wrong house.

Awesome Shirt

Hi. As a light-skinned Indigenous woman, I love this shirt's message. While I have never been looked down upon when I tell people that I am a proud Native woman, I felt self-conscious about it. So It makes me feel better. As far as the shirt goes, and not the amazing message on it, the shirt is very comfortable and I love it. I like my shirts big, and being a bigger lady, I am happy to report that this shirt fits just how I like it. Further, I am super happy to support Indigenous art and Indigenous-owned companies. Thank you guys. I love my purchase and when I'm not a broke student, I will definitely purchase more shirts from here.

Spot the R logo!

R Logo Branding

Our R Logo Symbol is subtly incorporated into almost every design we create (exceptions include collab art, small embroidery designs, and some stickers). We urge you to be cautious if you see our designs and slogans without the R logo and listed elsewhere besides our official website, social media accounts, or partnering e-commerce platforms (Shop app, Instagram Shop, etc). Feel free to reach out to us if you are unsure! And we would appreciate it if you let us know if you suspect any infringement. Miigwetch!
