Our Cause
At TCC, our cause is to help Indigenous Peoples profit from their own handmade Artwork. For decades, Peoples from Indigenous tribes across Turtle Island were banned from producing/ preforming their Cultural Art in many forms such as braiding our hair, singing traditional songs, creating regalia, beaded jewelry, and being denied the right to preform sacred ceremonies that go back thousands of years. TCC aims to bring Indigenous People a voice in today's society by showcasing our unique and individual cultural art pieces.
We work with Indigenous communities on and off the reservation. Please contact us if you or your community is interested in working together!
Indigenous Woman Owned and Operated!
Ariana is of the Mvskoke Nation with ancestors of the Yaqui, Blackfeet and Aztec Nations. She proudly holds a BA degree in Sociology. After seeing a need for Authentic Indigenous representation in the community, she started Turtle Clan Collective (TCC) in an effort to help Indigenous artists and communities as well as to educate non-Indigenous people about the need for Authentic Indigenous representation across Turtle Island.
Ariana is also an artist! She has been creating beaded works of art for over 2 decades. She is self-taught in many Indigenous beading techniques and continues to enjoy creating pieces that speak to her heart.
You will see much of her beadwork for sale on the site!
Our obligation to Mother Earth
Mother Earth
Within Indigenous Culture, we believe that we have an obligation to our Mother Earth, her creatures and to protect her life-giving resources. At TCC, we do this by choosing to upcycle items when we can, recycle items and by preaching about our obligation to Our Planet. We encourage you to do something healthy for your planet and to always clean up after yourself when in nature.

Recycled Packaging
At TCC, we are 110% dedicated to Eco Friendly and Sustainable Packaging!
We enjoy recycling any packaging material that we can. For this reason, some of your item's packaging will look different from time to time. Rest assured that your items will ALWAYS arrive safe and in great condition or your money back!
We encourage our Artists to upcycle items and for our customers to recycle our packaging by first finding another use for the packing in your daily life, and second by placing it in your recycle bin. We have partnered with Eco-Enclose Sustainable Packaging Supplies to continue to provide our customers with complete Eco-Friendly packaging materials.
