Happy Participants

This program was absolutely amazing and exactly what I needed to point me in the right direction. Creatives Indigenous gave me the confidence to believe in my vision and pursue my goals. It also provided me with all the tools I'll need for my startup and gave me a deeper understanding of entrepreneurship altogether! I would highly recommend!"

LES FLY, OWNER OF LAKOTA SUNBURST JEWELRY

Wow! Thank you so much for putting on an amazing program!"

MONICA AMENT, OWNER OF MONICA AMENT INTERIOR DESIGN

Not only did I gain new skills to help build the foundation of my small business Underscore Leather, but I also gained a community cohort that together we all built throughout the program."

SARAH BAIZ, OWNER OF UNDERSCORE LEATHER

"The Creative Indigenous Innovation Challenge has taught me more in a few weeks than 4-years in college. I have a BA in business but still didn’t have the tools/knowledge to start my business. This program is truly life-changing!”

Autumn Jade Fitch, Entrepreneur
