Intertribal Creatives Collective is a safe space to celebrate the art, culture, business, and community work of Indigenous people, located on ancestral Piscataway and Anacostan land in Old Town Alexandria, VA. Our mission is to serve as an accessible, layered resource to both the local and broader Native community by allowing Natives to connect with other Indigenous people throughout the country.
Our gallery houses and sells authentic visual art, handmade jewelry, and other forms of self-expression from Native artisans, entrepreneurs and creatives, providing them exposure and support from the community on a local and national level. The purpose is to encourage Natives to reconnect with their community, culture, language, and traditional practices.
When you purchase from our online store, you support Native artists. All of our items, excluding Running Strong gear, are made by Native artists and purchased at fair prices. 100% of the proceeds go directly to our programs to support American Indian youth and their families.
