A marketplace built by
and for Native American artisans
NativeHand is the nationwide home for authentic Native American craft — starting with the artisans of southwest Oklahoma and growing across Indian Country.
Why I built this
My name is Jordan Callahan. I'm Osage and Kiowa, based in Oklahoma, and I built NativeHand because I saw a need that nobody else was solving.
I was watching Native artists around me create amazing things — beadwork, shawls, regalia, silverwork — and I kept seeing the same thing over and over: they were limited. Limited by Facebook posts getting buried. Limited by not having a real storefront. Limited by a marketplace world that wasn't built for them.
My brother makes beadwork. My mom wants to make shawls. And when we started talking about how to actually get their work in front of people who would value it, the conversation always came back to the same thing: there was no real place for this. No dedicated home. No authentic, verified platform.
So I'm building one.
NativeHand is starting with artisans in southwest Oklahoma, because that's my community and those are the artists I know. But it's built to scale — to represent Native American artisans nationwide, giving them the platform, the audience, and the opportunity their craft deserves.
Why NativeHand exists
For too long, Native artisans have been selling their work through Facebook posts and Instagram DMs, or watching their crafts get imitated and mass-produced by companies with no tribal connection at all.
NativeHand is different. Every artisan here is a verified, tribally enrolled Native American. Every piece you buy supports an Indigenous maker directly. Every listing carries the artisan's nation, because that context matters.
This isn't a “Native-inspired” marketplace. It is Native, period.
Wearable art, rooted in tradition
Medallions, barrettes, chokers, earrings, cuffs — bead by bead, in floral, geometric, and Plains styles.
Roaches, bustles, breastplates, dance sticks — built for powwow, ceremony, and celebration.
Ribbon shirts, skirts, jingle dresses, fringed shawls, and broadcloth work from multiple tribal traditions.
Hard-sole and soft-sole moccasins, leggings, and footwear — Plains, Woodland, and Southwest styles.
Cuffs, armbands, pendants, conchos, and stamped silver — hand-forged and hallmarked.
Many of our artisans accept custom work — your initials beaded into a bracelet, colors picked just for you, made specifically for each client.
How we verify
Every artisan who sells on NativeHand completes a verification process before their first listing goes live. That includes submitting a tribal enrollment card, CDIB, or official tribal documentation, and signing a legal attestation of their Native heritage.
This isn't just about trust — it's about the law. The Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990 makes it a federal crime to misrepresent non-Native work as Native-made. NativeHand is fully IACA compliant, by design.
