🎉 T-SHIRT REVEAL! 🎉

This year’s limited-edition National Indigenous Peoples Day t-shirt, inspired by our 2026 theme: Old Ways, New Days. 💚

Designed by Kwanlin Dün artist Eila Vallevand, this year’s artwork explores the harmony between traditional and contemporary Indigenous expression.

Through the abstraction and merging of traditional Northwest Coast forms, the design reflects the idea that tradition and contemporary practice don’t exist in opposition, but rather in relationship with one another. The words Old Ways and New Days stand like two tall totems, working together to uphold our cultural spirits with empathy, openness, and strength.

Rather than including a date or event title, the design focuses solely on this year’s theme, allowing the shirt to be worn long after National Indigenous Peoples Day as a lasting expression of the message it represents.

🎉 Everyone who purchases a t-shirt on Sunday will be entered into our giveaway for the Wolf & Crow painted drum by Terrence Shorty!
