Wearing Indigenous designer Angela DeMontigny on my wedding.

Your dollars and time can transform
indigenous communities

Supporting Indigenous creators is a way to give your dollars directly to Native communities. Supporting artists allows them to keep cultural practices alive, and often you're not only supporting the artist, you're also supporting their family and community. Listening to Indigenous storytellers is also a wonderful way to be an ally. Hearing their stories and experiences in their own words, and having a laugh or two along the way.
