Nisha Supahan started From the River Collective (FTRC) in October of 2010. FTRC is an online store featuring Northern California Indian artists (Karuk, Hupa, Yurok) who make quality art and products that are inspired by our Native background, culture and traditions. We have traditional items as well as many of the artists use old time technics, materials or designs to create contemporary pieces. To learn about these materials and designs visit "Our Traditional People" page: http://www.fromtherivercollective.com/Our_People.html
Nisha wanted to be able to sell the work of talented artists from her home town that may not have the ability to promote themselves or their amazing work. Whether it be time, money, or technology. We are from a rural area where not every household has a computer let alone internet access. I want the outside world to see how the people of the Klamath and Trinity Rivers have unique perspectives that are incorporated in to their creations.
We are working together to make a change for our tribes, community, and our families.
