Over the years, Minnetonka has quietly given financial donations to Native American organizations locally and nationally. But that’s not enough. Indigenous culture and design has influenced our brand and business, and we are committed to honoring and investing in the Native American community for the long-term. This page will be updated as we continue to expand our commitment.


In December 2021, we launched our first Native-designed and hand-crafted product with Anishinaabe artist and our Reconciliation Advisor, Adrienne Benjamin – and there will be many more collections to come. We’re committed to collaborating with Indigenous artists, designers and creators who will receive recognition and payment for their work in redesigning appropriated products and creating new, Native-designed products.


ADRIENNE BENJAMIN
A Minnesotan, Anishinaabe, and a member of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe, Adrienne Benjamin is a multifaceted artist whose designs encompass personal experiences and traditional cultural teachings.
