pagesThe Best Native American Art and Artists
Sunday, March 29th, 2009I came across a website the other day while doing research for articles that is called Native Xpressions. It is an online American Indian Art store and networking community that offers membership to top Native American artists and anyone interested in Native American Indian art, history and culture or First Nations Peoples.
I discovered that Native Xpressions is not only a Native American owned company, but they are dedicated to promoting the best Native American artists as well as the education and history of American Indians. Chantell Strong Deer Champlain, the granddaughter of Harold Champlain creator of the New England Native American Calendar, was inspired by her grandfather to create this business.
The New England Native American Calendar has been printing for over twenty years, promoting the education of New England Native American culture as well as New England Native Americans whom are contributing positively to their Native community. Native Xpressions takes this concept to a different level with a specific focus on Indian art.
Their goal is to:
| 1. Support Native American Artists and First Nations Artists | |
|
To support top Native American Artists who are pursuing their creative talents. Through Artist membership, Native Xpressions offers opportunities to network, share art with others and generate revenue through the sales of their artwork. All Artists are given worldwide marketing exposure through as many marketing avenues as possible. |
|
| Native Xpressions also highly encourages a supportive artist networking environment for the best Native American talent whether amateur or professional. Native Artists should offer each other encouragement, support and guidance. | |
|
|
|
| 2. Education of the history and culture of Native Americans | |
|
The only way to bridge the gap between Native America and non-Natives is through education. Knowledge provides the awareness needed to end prejudice and continued injustices. Native Xpressions strives to not only provide access to top history and culture resources of Native Americans, past and present, but also encourages interaction between Natives and non-Natives through communication tools provided upon membership. |
|
| They strongly recommend that any and all questions are asked and answered and that their members participate in discussions related to top Native American issues in support of spreading awareness. Native Xpressions does ask that all members always approach others with respect when communicating. | |
Native Xpressions is the place to buy the best art, crafts and artifacts of American Indians. There you can find a variety of art creations handmade by top Native American artists. You can embrace the world of American Indian Art and Native American history and culture while you discover your new favorite Native American Artists at Native Xpressions.
