Art In Action Education for Change Trade for Community Sovereignty Through Leadership Sustainable & Transparent

Indigenous art is the foundation of our work, and Indigenous artists contribute to all of our core designs. We provide a platform for authentic Indigenous art that encourages pride, shapes lives, and helps keep traditions alive.

education for change

At Manitobah, we teach and freely pass on what we know. In 2013, we founded the Manitobah Mukluks Storyboot School, which brings Indigenous artists together with students from across Canada. The courses are free for Indigenous youth and help pass on time-honored innovations and traditions to the next generation.

TRADE FOR COMMUNITY

The Indigenous Market helps Indigenous artists share their stories and products with customers from around the world. For every unique Indigenous-made product sold through the Indigenous Market, 100% of the profits go back to the artists. Artists are also supported with mentoring, marketing, and B2B networking.
