Looking for an Orange Shirt? We have a variety of designs and sizes available from Native Northwest | Art by Indigenous Artists.

Wearing an Orange Shirt sparks conversation about Residential Schools, Reconciliation, and honours survivors and their families. Proceeds from Every Child Matters purchases go towards the Native Northwest Reconciliation Fund.
----------------------------------------------
The Native Northwest Reconciliation Fund, established in 2021, supports families impacted by Residential Schools and intergenerational trauma. The Fund advances Reconciliation by funding initiatives that support Indigenous wellness, learning, and culture.

Author Tyson Stewart popped into the shop to sign a copy of his debut fiction novel “The Return of the Nish” 👋

His propulsive novel draws on both Anishinaabe storytelling and film noir influences, explores the tragedy of lost opportunities, the cyclical nature of time, and how people and places return to us in new light ✨
