Building on History: A Legacy of Craft Markets

​

Authentically Indigenous embarked on its journey with a groundbreaking holiday market in 2015. This inaugural Indigenous marketplace marked a significant milestone as the first of its kind in Alberta, setting the foundation for our commitment to fostering Indigenous art, culture, and community.

We are dedicated to enhancing the visibility and accessibility of authentic Indigenous artistry, cultivating a platform where tradition meets innovation, and heritage is celebrated.
