About
Alaska Native Creative is 100% Alaska Native owned and operated. It was founded by Lisa-Marie Ikonomov who is Tlingit Indian and a tribal citizen of the Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska and the Douglas Indian Association. Lisa-Marie was born and raised in Juneau, Alaska. Her Tlingit name is G'aan Dux T'ooh (to come in from the outside) and she currently resides in Anchorage, Alaska.
"As a sewer who loves to create and design, I was frustrated that I could only find 'Pacific Northwest Coast' inspired trims and fabrics for my projects," said Lisa-Marie. "I decided if no one else was going to meet the need, I would have to do it myself. So, I launched Alaska Native Creative to bring REAL Indigenous Alaskan designs to the amazing community of artists and designers who are dedicated to crafting with culture."
