Our Dibenindizowin (Liberty) collection is inspired by the American Hobo Nickel. 

Inspired by the Hobo Nickels of the 1930s, our Dibenindizowin Shirt is a reminder that colonial notions of Liberty are built off the blood and subjugation of Indigenous Peoples, and said subjugation is contemporaneous and ongoing.

 

All text on the shirt is written using the Anishinaabemowin Syllabic alphabet. Syllabics is an Indigenous writing system utilized by Anishinaabemowin, Cree, and Inuktitut speakers.
