Indigenous Art
Support the continuation of Indigenous wisdom.
You Can Help Support the Indigenous Cultures of the Peruvian Amazon by purchasing one of a variety of handmade items. The profits from the sale of each item go to the respective tribe that created it. Online sales will allow the tribes to recieve an economical increase without having a greater western influence. The sales will also encourage children to continue their cultural tradtions.
The website will offer Jewelry, Clothing, Paintings, Pottery, and many other handicrafts in which each tribe specializes. All products are shipped directly from Iquitos, Peru. As the indigenous art project continues, artisans will develop finer and finer skills, due to the promise of a fair compensation. The foundation will not take any portion of the profits, giving them all back to the artists and artisans creating the work.
The website will take credit cards directly to make purchasing items and donating to the Foundation as safe and easy as possible. In addition to making a purchase, you will be able to make donations to specific indigenous communities to further show your appreciation for their work. Many pieces that will be offered for sale take weeks to produce with a skill that only a dedicated artisan could maintain.
Indigenous traditions can be profitable and the Foudation seeks to enhance the profitability and encourage the advancement and spread of indigenous traditions. A great way for supporters of indigenous traditions to show their support is through the purchase of indigenous arts and crafts. |
