CASE STUDY
Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum
Rebecca Petrie at the Ah Tah Thi Ki Museum said, “As a non-tribal member, it is a fine line between celebrating Seminole culture and heritage and appropriation. We do that by offering items, when not handcrafted by Tribal members, that are inspired by their art.” These particular socks were ordered by another Tribal department for their holiday gift giving and said they were very pleased with the results.

Golden State Lumber and Building Materials
Golden State Lumber and Building Materials is the premier supplier of building materials in Northern California. They've been in business for over six decades.
During the pandemic, Golden State was presented with a lot of new challenges. However, they say this created new opportunities for them to help their customers succeed in the ever changing building industry.
Every year they distribute holiday gifts to their valued partners to show their appreciation. They said, “...since this year was already different in a lot of ways, why not switch up our holiday gifts too? This year, I thought it would be fun to choose a gift that was unique and outside of the box and these socks were able to accomplish that! Our customers will have high quality, memorable Golden State branded socks that will last them years to come.”
