Uplifting and Amplifying Indigenous Artisans

Changing the world through economic empowerment at a grassroots level.

https://www.howtomakeanation.com

How To Make a Nation provides a platform for under-resourced artisans to turn their creative work into economic opportunity, while enabling customers to discover unique, culturally-significant handmade products.

We provide creators and artisans with an audience they otherwise would not have access to.

As global wealth inequality continues to grow, we are strong advocates of empowering people in a bottom-up approach.

How To Make a Nation is headquartered in Seattle, Washington.

Our artisan partners are based in multiple continents. Each nation we partner with is made up of smaller communities that have their own distinctive characteristics, many dating back thousands of years to the indigenous peoples.

Our artisan partners create a variety of products such as garments & accessories, souvenirs & mementos, and other culturally-significant items - all handmade from textiles, wood, ceramics, and other materials unique and emblematic of their community.

How To Make a Nation is made possible thanks to a diverse group of individuals, all of whom share the same purpose: changing the world through economic empowerment at a grassroots level.
