10 Indigenous Artists To Follow On Instagram

In celebration of Indigenous Peoples' Day, we have put together a list of some amazing Native American creators on Instagram.

Indigenous Peoples' Day is a national holiday in the US on the 10th of October that celebrates and honors Native American peoples and commemorates their histories and cultures.

For us at Happily, representation is a huge part of our recruitment processes, values as a company and advocacy priorities. Our CEO and 90% of our team identify as female, and every Happily event is produced by 30% BIPOC and 10% LGBTQ+.

Illustrators, artists and graphic designers are just some of our expertises at Happily - and some of our passions. Our own Happily Creative Team is here to elevate any experience or content with full service and multi-dimensional creative services.
