Native Land Gift Box (P)

This gift box has been lovingly curated to showcase some of the talented Indigenous makers that we are proud to have in our Maker House family.

Our store in Ottawa is located on traditional unceded territory of the Algonquin-Anishinaabe people. We want to build stronger connections and support our neighbours, both artists and members of Indigenous communities, across Canada and Turtle Island. 

Each maker and charity partner was consulted about this project. They even helped us name it proudly the Native Land Gift Box. Inside you will find more information about the featured makers and organizations.
