MINI TIPI connects with Indigenous artists that are making an impact in their  communities, who have a connection to the culture, and are sharing their knowledge and experiences through art. We approach artists with a cultural inspiration to tell a story through their art, the design is then transformed to a digital format that is woven into textile and sewn into products. It is important to have voices that properly represent the culture so the knowledge or teachings can be accurately told and respected.  We are very proud to be able to offer authentic Indigenous designs as well as highlighting artists in the community. We believe that representation matters, and that the storytelling and authenticity of the designs needs to be at the forefront.

MINI TIPI recognizes the value of the artist's work and contributes to value them with a fair compensation and is committed to defending intellectual property rights.
