Homeland

The Homeland screen printed design for the career expo pays homage to Native slang word Skoden, meaning “let’s go then.� The design appeared on tote bags and T-shirts at Phoenix Union High School District Native American Education Program’s career expo on April 12.

The Native-led creative brand blends culture, music, fashion and community through hands-on workshops and cross-brand collaborations.

Homeland has become a growing pillar of cultural enrichment for Indigenous youths across Arizona in light of recent executive actions from President Donald Trump aiming to restrict diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.
