Earth Day / Turtle Island

Greetings friends!

Today is Earth Day!  In celebration, it feels fitting to share our newest t-shirt design by OxDx Clothing owner Jared Yazzie. 

It features a rendition of Turtle Island, the popular Native American name for North America, which encompasses Canada, the US, and Mexico.

More Of in Native Fashion?

If you follow Beyond Buckskin on Instagram, you know that I posted the question, "What do you want to see more of in Native fashion this year?"

Most responses should not surprise you, but I wanted to share what was suggested because it's really fascinating.  First, I need to point out that I asked what people wanted to see MORE of, and instead some decided to share what they want to see LESS of. LOL.

Food Sovereignty / Blue Corn Sovereignty

Hello friends and fam!

I am so excited to have this t-shirt back in stock. We launched it years ago as the first design for our Tee Club (gosh that was fun!) - it was an instant hit and for good reason! It is the Blue Corn Sovereignty Tee by Jared Yazzie of OxDx Clothing.

Not only is it a cool design, it is also packed with meaning.
