This highly unique Coast Salish Killer Whale design started off as a 40ft mural painted on the Port Gamble S'klallam Skatepark, which eventually migrated all the way to Redbull.com's Sheckler Sessions. It has gradually been getting smaller and smaller and smaller since then.

This is a two-sided earring featuring a black and natural Orca design on the front and a vibrant red backside. Each pair, which is made of hand painted and laser etched bass wood that is finished off with a protective clear coat, is composed of two mirror-image earrings that will hang facing the same direction when you wear them. The jump ring and hook have a gun metal finish.

This product is hand-painted, machine cut, and assembled in Louie's studio in Seattle, Washington.

The LG Guardian is indicative of Louie Gong's (Nooksack) trend-setting merger of art traditions and themes from his mixed heritage and urban environment. Inspired by the overlapping purpose of the guardian lion and Coast Salish house post, the LG Guardian is a Chinese Guardian Lion (a.k.a Fu Dog) designed in the style of Northwest Native art.

If you look closely, you can see that the design depicts the male and female guardian lions facing one another. Their combined profile images create a single - more formidable - guardian.

This beautiful case is made with real maple and finished with a protective clear coat.

This high quality tote bag, which features a variation of John Isaiah Pepion's (Blackfeet) "Lightning Horse" design, opens up wide to fit all your favorite snacks, a change of clothes, or whatever else you need to tote!

This beautiful design pays tribute to the vibrant Plains Indian Horse culture. The first horse that came to the Blackfeet (Piikani) became known as the Elk Dog, revolutionizing the way the Piikani were able to hunt and becoming an integral part of everyday life on the Plains. Here, John has painted the horses as they were sometimes painted before going on a hunt, raid, or into battle - with circles above their eyes to make them see farther and lightning on their bodies to make them run faster.

This unique butterfly - composed of two abstract eagles on either side of the Space Needle - is Louie's homage to a city undergoing rapid transformation. It stands as a reminder to both long-time Seattleites and recent transplants that the city's character is rooted in its rich history and communities, and an understanding of this history should lead our decision making as we plan for the future.

Over the last few years, this design has also grown to symbolize Indigenous presence and unity. It was initially developed in 2010 as branding for the Seattle Indian Health Board’s Indigenous Cultures Day event. In 2015, a variation of this design was also adopted as the mark of Seattle’s successful movement to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous People’s Day.

This vibrant cotton beach towel was designed by Inspired Natives Project collaborator, Michelle Lowden (Acoma Pueblo).

The "Reflection" towel represents the prayer for rain. During monsoon season, the cisterns at Acoma become full again. It is then the people visit the cisterns to gather water for drinking. When you look down to see the cisterns full and you are met with your reflection, you can't help but smile with gratitude. It is a reminder that "water is life." The design features Acoma Pueblo abstract symbols representing mountains, clouds, and rain.
