NOTE: This campaign is a continuous campaign. We decided to set up a separate campaign that can be sold throughout the year. Please note that by buying these products right now, they will not arrive on September 30th, instead, in early October due to shipping times.

NOTE #2: This specific t-shirt design has a design with light coloured outlines. We have another variation of this design with a dark coloured outline instead, which can also be found on this website.

100% of profits will go toward NWI (Native Wellness Institute). The Native Wellness Institute exists to promote the well-being of Indigenous peoples through programs and trainings that embrace the teachings and traditions of their ancestors.

The artwork/design featured in this t-shirt design is by Madison Crist. Read below to learn about Madi's intentions and thoughts behind this design:

The dragonfly pictured in this design represents freedom/symbol for grieving which is also visually reflected in the circle from which opens to set the dragonfly free. The dotted line represents the strength of Indigenous people standing together and holding their intentions together. The circle represents the cycle of life and a path from which to guide people home. The three intentions are what one might weave into a dreamcatcher.

Each element of the design creates a dreamcatcher which not only gives us another chance to represent the importance of dreamcatchers in Indigenous culture but also gives a tangible example of culture appreciation vs appropriation. The feathers attached to the end represent protection as so many people continue the process of healing.

This t-shirt gives out a space to heal, honour, and hope. These three intentions also connect deeply to the past, present, and future.

To whoever is buying this t-shirt, we hope you can continue to be an advocate and support this cause. Thank you for supporting the Every Child Matters movement?
