Announcing the #GoNative Winners!

The #GoNative campaign has officially ended, but a lot of us will continue the #GoNative trend and wear Native American-made fashion everyday!

It's a way to stand out, be unique, and support artists. If you're Native American, it can mean more - it's a way to express pride in your heritage and continue a beautiful legacy.

Our top five winners racked up well over 200 Likes each, and some even over 300. Our winner, a surprise perhaps (?!), cashed in over 400 Likes on Facebook!

Scroll down to see the winning images:


5TH PLACE (left): thewomanbeader: Round dance accessories..Beaded medallion by Rachel Eaglevoice and quill and mirror earrings. 4TH PLACE (right): thewomanbeader: Support Inspiring Natives..not 'Native Inspired'. 8-Bit Feather Fantasy Earrings by The Soft Museum purchased online at Beyond Buckskin.


3RD PLACE (left): thewomanbeader: Koda with a beaded medallion. 2ND PLACE (right): thewomanbeader: Earrings by Little Sky Customs that have been updated with some powwow bling by the wearer.

And our grand prize 1ST PLACE winner: dallasgoldtooth: "My submission for @beyondbuckskin GoNative contest. - goldtooth earrings made by @dallasgoldtooth. #gonative". Haha - well there you go!


Maybe an unexpected win, but a great one since Dallas definitely helped spread the word about the #goNative campaign (as did the amazing Faith "thewomanbeader" Courtereille!) - which was a fun way to promote Native American artists and express Native pride.
