Nomination & New Design

I’ve been nominated for a 2022 Indigenous Entrepreneur Award (in association with Pow Wow Pitch)! It’s a win, just to be nominated.
This journey continues as Kinikinnick Trading grows, and I grow with it; wóphila tanka / miigwetch / niá:wen / we’lalin / merci / thank you to everyone who continues to support us and make this a more viable business. I’m looking forward to seeing you at Pow Wow this year!

Ičábu Yuhá / Edd Scorpio (aka Capt. John Swallow)

A new design has dropped – inspired by our “Every Child Matters” medicine wheel design, it also incorporates #MMIWG2S.
Available on 100% cotton t-shirts in Orange, Red & Black – sustainably printed on demand on Turtle Island.
