PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

This design carries a powerful message: Indigenous identity is not defined by skin tone. Embracing diversity in shapes, sizes, and colors, it's a tribute to all Indigenous people, whether they're reconnecting with their roots or have always been closely tied to their heritage. It's especially meaningful for those who've had to defend their indigeneity against narrow perceptions of appearance.

This design is a call to never cease learning your language, dancing your dances, fostering connections, and nurturing your community, even in the face of indifference. It's a reminder that perseverance in these acts is a defiance against the erasure of Indigenous cultures.

SIZE GUIDE

ALL PRODUCTS ARE UNISEX FIT UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED IN THE TITLE OR DESCRIPTION.

Unisex Fit:
True to size for men; adjust sizing as needed.

Hats & Toques:
One size fits most.

Measurements taken in inches. Customers between sizes, should size down for a slimmer fit or size up for a relaxed fit. If in doubt, just go a size larger, better to fit a bit loose, than to not fit at all.

(fig.1)

Step 1: Measure Key Areas (Refer to Fig. 1)

Chest/Bust: Measure around the widest part.
Waist: Measure at your natural waist where regular-rise pants sit.
Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips.

Step 2: Calculate and Compare

Take your largest measurement and divide it by 2.
Example: If your chest measures 42", divide by 2 to get 21".
Compare this number (21") to the width column in the size chart.
- Snug Fit: Choose the closest size to your measurement.
- Natural/Loose Fit: Choose a size slightly larger.
  Example: For a 21" measurement, a t-shirt in size L-XL would be a good fit.

🙌🏽 t’s

I bought several t’s all of them are great quality and so comfortable! Fit to size.

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.

SOCIALS

Really nice shirt.

I have already given it to somebody else who said they needed it. You can be sure I will get another one.

Representation Matters!

We all need to be calling attention to the horrific rate of MMIW in this country, and the Stolen Sisters Feather T-shirt is a great way to do so. White companies are starting to produce these shirts, so make sure to buy them from Native sources. This shirt is high quality and the image is beautiful and poignant.

Soft and Beautiful

I have loved every purchase I’ve made from Resist. This t-shirt is no exception. It is such a unique design, and it’s soft and comfortable. Customer service is always excellent.

I have gotten compliments on this t-shirt everytime I wear it. Thinking about buying some to give as gifts.

Cozy

I’m about 170 lbs , d , woman , wear lg and xl shirts . I bought xl and it’s cozy , just baggy enough but not too baggy to look like a slob. Love it
