This Orange Shirt features a heart designed by Tsimshian artist Morgan Asoyuf with the words “Every Child Matters” inscribed in the centre. This shirt reflects the multi generational impact of Residential Schools, and the resilience of those who survived.
Wear your orange shirt in remembrance and respect to honour and support the students and survivors of Canada's Residential School system, and pay respects to those who did not make it.
Proceeds from Native Northwest orange shirt sales will be directed to the Orange Shirt Society as an act of reconciliation, with over $16,000 raised and donated as of June 2023.
Maker House is also proud to donate all net proceeds (50% of the sales) from these shirts to Indigenous communities and organizations through our #CraftChange Program. Watch our Instagram for donation updates in June for Indigenous Peoples Month, and again on September 30th for Truth and Reconciliation Day.

A visual interpretation of the Tragically Hip’s classic 1999 rock anthem. From the artist...
"Some say the tune is about combatting intolerance, racism and conflicted emotions. The Hip reference the town of Bobcaygeon as a metaphor to reconciling the all of these. The night skies over the rural Kawartha Lakes town offer clarity away from Toronto’s turmoil and bright lights. I grew up in the area, frequenting the backroads, lakes and rivers in the area. I'm also a longtime fan of the Hip and believe very strongly in fighting intolerance and racism. The use of the compass is a nod to elements of the Phantom Power album cover graphics. The design is set against the calm stars of the Milky Way Galaxy and features Ursa Minor (The Little Dipper) constellation anchored to the north."
This art print makes a great addition to any Tragically Hip fan’s collection or any art lover that appreciates musically-inspired artwork for their home.
Print size is 12.5" x 12.5" (31.75 x 31.75 cm).

From the creators of CBC radio's This is That; Pat Kelly, Chris Kelly and Peter Oldring. From CBC Radio's most beloved satirical comedy team comes This is That: Travel Guide to Canada, a hilariously outrageous parody of the travel guide genre and what it means to visit Canada. Searching for a weekend away with the kids? This is That: Travel Guide to Canada will teach you how to navigate the twelve petting zoos of Etobicoke and how to avoid pickpockets in Kamloops. Planning your summer holiday? Keep in mind that the city of Brandon, Manitoba, is closed for annual maintenance between July 12 and August 19 and that tipping your server in Swift Current is offensive. Presented in the familiar casing of a traditional travel guidebook, à la Lonely Planet or Rough Guide, This is That: Travel Guide to Canada takes readers on a farcical - and unbelievable - journey from coast to coast to coast to coast to coast. This faux guide also includes essential travel tips, such as useful Canadian phrases to locate the bathroom, best places to portage, and most spectacular malls above sea level.
This guide aims to help those unaccustomed to life in Canada discover the majesty of what the Internet calls:
“One of North America’s Top Three Must-Visit Nations."

This print of the features a derelict grain elevator in the Saskatchewan prairie fields. The night sky is filled with a photo the artist took of Gord Downie singing Wheat Kings during the band's 2016 farewell tour. He says: "Thousands of fans sang in unison and swayed to the lyrics with their cellphones alight. It was as is if they were recreating the distant shimmering city lights of Saskatoon from a cold January night. By sheer coincidence an eerie figure stood high in an arena doorway that night, looking on as if David Milgaard (wrongfully convicted for the 1969 murder of Gail Miller) was there to witness one last version of the Hip's power anthem written for him." A must for any Tragically Hip fan!
