Celebrating National Native American Heritage Month!

Alaska is home to over 229 tribes—and a vibrant community of Native-owned businesses from tribes both in and outside of Alaska! This November, we’re honoring Native entrepreneurs who bring heart, culture, and resilience to our state. From art to outdoor gear, these businesses keep traditions alive and enrich Alaska’s unique spirit. Shop Native, shop local, and support them year-round!

@rafter_m_farm – Nestled in Kasilof on the Kenai Peninsula, this farm is all about Alaskan goodness. From grass-fed Highland beef and weaned heifers to fresh A2A2 Jersey cow milk, their animals thrive on 30+ acres of pasture and Delta barley. They also offer free-range eggs from the happiest chickens and handmade herbal milk soaps. Farm-to-table doesn’t get better than this! 🐮🌱🥚

@samscustomcookies – Bringing sweet dreams to life, one cookie at a time! These custom, hand-decorated sugar cookies are designed to make every occasion extra special. Whether it’s a corporate event, wedding, or life’s little celebrations, these edible works of art are as delicious as they are beautiful. Because no party is complete without the perfect cookie. 🍪✨

@woodlandsak - Rooted in Ketchikan, Alaska, this apparel company brings local charm to life with custom-designed and printed shirts, hoodies, hats, calendars, postcards, and more. Crafted through their sister company, each piece celebrates Alaskan creativity and spirit. 🌲🖤

@ravensnestandhandmadegifts - where art and tradition come together! They create stunning fiber art inspired by traditional Alaska Native designs and crafted with hand-dyed alpaca yarns. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, blending mathematical symmetry with freestyle creativity. With a focus on sustainability and luxury, Raven’s Nest delivers art that’s both meaningful and eco-friendly. 🧶✨
