About Native American fashion, clothing, and jewelry.
It's a beautiful day to buy from Native American businesses.
Beyond Buckskin: a Native-owned business
Beyond Buckskin launched in 2009 by Jessica R. Metcalfe (Turtle Mountain Chippewa) as a website dedicated to showcasing and promoting our continent's first artists and original designers. In 2012, the original blog website expanded to include an online boutique as well. The origin story of this boutique is rooted in positive activism and a desire to share our cultures with the world through fashion design.
Based out of North Dakota, Beyond Buckskin is dedicated to advancing creative small businesses located throughout rural and urban communities by providing an online store where customers can connect with Native American fashion designers and jewelry artists.
We currently work with over 40 individual artists and small businesses to get their incredible and unique work out to a broader audience. Our designers all advance traditional Indigenous artistic practices by bringing ancient designs, natural materials, and cultural stories to modern fashion. Diversity, beauty, utility and tradition come together in the garments and accessories we share with the world - from our hands to yours.

Today’s #SundaySelfie is from theoretical astro|physicist Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein with her undergraduate mentor, Prof. Melissa Franklin, that she shared on Twitter while at the American Physical Society meeting back in January. It’s also a #Sun-day post because of Chanda’s radiant* Dawa earrings (no longer available from @beyondbuckskin unfortunately, but there is a beautiful beaded northern star necklace!).
Dawa (also spelled Tawa) is the Hopi Sun spirit, who formed the First World and its original inhabitants from endless space. Chanda also shared a photo of her wearing the earrings while answering questions during a her talk at the APS April meeting (which happens in January sometimes!).
In addition to wrangling axions, Chanda does awesome activism work - make sure to check out her Decolonizing STEM reading list and other writing on Medium.
