Best Practices

• •Prioritize Artist & Story: Always lead with the artist, their community, and the story behind the piece. The product is a vessel for the culture, not just an item for sale.
• •Use Respectful & Accurate Language: Be mindful of terminology. Use specific Nation or language group names when known and appropriate. Avoid generalizations. If unsure, consult with Indigenous cultural advisors or the artists themselves.
• •Educate, Don't Just Sell: Frame product descriptions and social media posts as opportunities to share knowledge about Indigenous culture, symbolism, and history. This adds value beyond the transaction.
• •Maintain a Tone of Partnership: Emphasize collaboration with artists. Use phrases like "in partnership with," "proudly featuring," "as told by the artist" to reinforce that Yarn is a platform *for* artists.
• •Be Transparent & Authentic: Clearly communicate your ethical sourcing practices and how purchasing supports artists and communities. Authenticity in your mission will resonate with your audience and build lasting trust. Avoid overly commercial or trendy language that might detract from the cultural significance of the items.
