The focus of this marketplace is to start with Indigenous Arts for sale, which will expand over time to more broadly promote Indigenous culture including consumables, music, destination travel and more - making it a go-to Marketplace for “everything Indigenous”.
If you are an Indigenous artist, organization or company producing or promoting authentic Indigenous products and would be interested in showcasing your products on our site, we'd love to hear from you.

Approval process for a Vendor (Artist), Canada & International
The vendor approval process is necessary to ensure that Vendor (artists) have met all of the membership criteria and that their product(s) are genuine indigenous products.
Vendor (artist) must ensure that they have submitted any and all requested documentation and effectively accommodate all questions within their application openly and honestly.
The next step is that the Board of Indigenous Advisors of Indigene Arts will review all information submitted by the vendor (artist) and apply all Indigene Arts policies. The board will deliberate any entry within a short time frame when a vendor’s application has entered the review process.
The Board of Indigenous Advisors will conduct a review of the online marketplace from time to time to ensure that all items sold on the marketplace are within the policy guidelines. If your item(s) is ever questioned in regards to various concerns (e.g. genuine, authenticity, non-indigenous manufacturer, etc.) and has been brought to the attention of the Board of Indigenous Advisors, they in-turn will investigate any issues to determine that the product actually meets all required guidelines.
Vendor (artist) will be notified on what and why and the item will be removed.
Indigene Arts reserves the right to decide what may or may not be sold on our website.
Indigene Arts remain a strong supporter and advocate for Indigenous artists and guarantee to all buyers and customers that each product and artist are genuine. Please see our “Prohibited Items” policy to determine if your product is right for the Indigene Arts Marketplace.
