Support Indigenous Artists and Businesses. Buy Native.

In 2020, Running Strong launched an Arts program, Intertribal Creatives, to more strongly support the cultural, artistic and entrepreneurial work of Native American people. Intertribal Creatives’ mission is to promote the creativity, cultural celebration, and community connection for Native American people.

Creativity: We support creative Natives. In 2021, we launched our Dreamstarter Creative program to further support Native artists through small grants. Our Creatives have developed business infrastructure, purchased supplies, marketed themselves and their businesses, and furthered their educations and trainings.

Celebrate: We celebrate Native culture. Through celebration of identity, culture and accomplishments, we are helping to increase the visibility of Native people as artists and cultural bearers.

Connect: We connect Native people. We provide space for Natives to connect and network with each other, their communities, and their cultures. Additionally, online and in our brick-and-mortar store, we house, sell, and promote products and works of Native artists, creatives, and entrepreneurs, connecting their work to a larger audience and customer base.
