Our Story<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Native Northwest\u2019s story began over 40 years ago with a social worker, a rack of postcards, and the vision of building everyday connection to Indigenous cultures.<\/p>\n

During that time, we have helped change the market and put more authenticity of products in the marketplace. We were also instrumental in bringing Indigenous books and learning tools forward for kids.<\/p>\n

We also found the Native Northwest Reconciliation Fund to support wellness, learning, and help with the healing. We’ve partnered with universities and colleges to create scholarships that allow students in higher education to pursue these objections. We’ve also provided funding for a range of other organizations including transition homes and early childhood development programs.<\/p>\n

We invite you to be part of our story and to make it part of yours to expand everyday connections to Indigenous arts and cultures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"people-type":[47],"yoast_head":"\nNative Northwest -
