Monague Indigenous Crafts & Gifts, formerly known as Monague Native Crafts, is a 100% Native-owned Canadian wholesale company specializing in authentic, handmade Indigenous crafts. For over 30 years, we have supplied top-quality dream catchers, jewelry, and unique gifts and souvenirs, all designed by the Monague family and meticulously handcrafted by artisans who have been with the family for generations. Each piece is created to represent and emphasize the unity, understanding, and honour between various cultures.

In March 2024, Monague underwent a significant transformation when Achilles Gentle from Skownan First Nation took ownership, bringing fresh energy and innovation to the business. This change marked the beginning of a new chapter, with a dedication to elevating the services and products offered to our cherished customers.

Our commitment to quality and cultural representation has established us as a leading supplier of Canadian Indigenous souvenirs and giftware items. Our products are not only decorative but also serve as storytellers, sharing the rich legends and traditions of Indigenous cultures through specialty dream catchers, unique jewelry items, and inspirational gifts.
