Though we also feature handmade products created by persons outside the family circle, each artist and her/his materials must meet with the exacting standards we impose upon ourselves - specifically the highest quality materials and techniques to produce the high quality, unique items you will find here.
It is our mission at WINTU WORKS/COPPER'S Treasure Chest to promote the art and crafts work of indigenous peoples. Since World travel first began, there has been a great interest in the items produced by these peoples. Yet, throughout history, it has been a pattern that the Native creates, and receives very little in exchange for his goods.
Through the practices of Fair Trade, each artist is ensured to receive a rate of exchange guaranteed to cover the cost of their materials, labor, and enough to sustain a living for the artist and their family. We at Copper's Treasure Chest believe this is the ONLY fair, and appropriate way to do business.
We have searched diligently to bring you the highest quality products, assure that remuneration to the artist is fair and adequate, and offer to you, our customer, the lowest prices available.
It is our hope that our customers will support our efforts to help promote a better lifestyle for indigenous people by purchasing our products, and telling their Friends about our site, too!
