Bird Story Teller Heavyweight Fleece Hoodie
10% of profits from Red Hand and Respect the Natives goes to Native-led MMIP organizations and native fish conservation — every quarter.
Made when you order it — nothing mass-produced sitting in a warehouse.
Some stories travel on wings.
In the old stories, the winged ones see the whole land from above and carry word between the earth and the sky. They remind us to step back and look at the bigger picture.
The Story Teller series is about the old stories, the ones passed from grandparents to grandkids and still worth hearing. In a lot of Native households, winter is story season. Some get told around a fire. Some get told on the tailgate after a long day on the river.

Made to order once you check out, so it takes a little longer to arrive than off-the-shelf apparel.
Questions about sizing? Ask us before ordering. See our shipping policy and return policy.
Every piece is made to order. Plan on 10–15 business days from order to your door in the U.S., including production and transit. Around drops and holidays it can take a few days longer. You’ll get tracking when your order leaves production.
Free U.S. shipping on orders over $100, applied automatically at checkout. Under $100 it's calculated at checkout — usually $5–10.
Compare the product measurements with a garment you already like wearing before choosing your size. Available sizes vary by color.

Native Instinct is Native-owned. 10% of profits from Red Hand pieces goes to Native-led MMIP organizations; a portion of Respect the Natives sales goes to native fish and the waters wild trout call home. We publish what we send.
Your piece doesn't exist until you order it. No overproduction, no warehouse of unsold stock, no two garment-dyed pieces exactly alike. It's slower. It's also the right way to do it.
