Not always. aaniin prioritizes supporting Indigenous businesses in ways that allow them to be successful and sustainable.

Some Indigenous brands choose to manufacture in Canada, while others source from overseas, such as China, to maintain profitability. We respect each Indigenous entrepreneur’s business decisions and recognize that access to cost-effective production is crucial for long-term success.

No matter where the products are made, we ensure that the brands we work with remain Indigenous-owned and that their business decisions support their growth and sustainability.
