Here is a list of ten gift ideas that are UNGS approved for some glorious gift-giving this holiday season. Enjoy!
1. Demokratees T-Shirts by Ryan Red Corn*. $17.50 USD
*NATIVE Business
This hip t-shirts are sure to be a hit with the guy on your list from a teenager to in his 30s. He will feel pretty dope sporting these designs to the next Indigenous event he attends.
2. Shared Spirits Blanket by Pendleton Woolen Mills. $204 USD.
This blanket is a great addition for an older man who everyone in the family loves. Get all the grandchildren to chip in and buy this for your grandfather, or all siblings pitch in for a loved uncle. He will receive it knowing he is treasured.

3. Pendant on Ribbon 'Rebel at Heart' Collection by Thomas Sabo. Price unknown.
I adore this season's Thomas Sabo collection. Seriously go check it out at the nearest retailer. There are raven skull rings and pendants. It is perfect for the Native rapper-type.

4. Plex Brainstorm CD by New Leaf Entertainment*. $14 CAD.
*NATIVE Artist and label
Speaking of Native rappers, here is a totally conscious one who has a straight path and is setting the way for young men everywhere. Oh yeah, plus the album is hype.
5. Smoke Hole Hoodie by Alano Edzerza Designs*. $70 CAD.
*NATIVE Business
Not that I would ever promote anything about a "smoke hole" but this hoodie is very cool and I know my nephew would love it to hang out at high school in. Actually both of my older brothers would probably love it for weekend casual days.
6. Rezbomb DVD by Roaring Fire Films. $19.95 USD.
I must confess I haven't watched this flick yet because it has guys movie written all over it. Hence it's appearance on this list. It's a thriller about a Native girl, Harmony, who is in love with a white guy, Scott. It takes place on Pine Ridge Reservation. "Gripping and disturbing ... twist on Romeo and Juliet with a dash of Tarantino" says The Times Colonist.
7. Zuni Leekya Turquoise Nugget & Sterling Silver Ring by Turquoise Village*. $105 USD. *NATIVE made.
This ring reminds me of the one Tatanka Means has on in the Urban Warrior pic. It is such a standout piece and I think it would look pretty stellar on a lot of Native guys. You could totally bling out your man, Indian style.
8. Chinle Large 26" Suitcase Roller by Pendleton Mills. $175 USD.
Well I have seen this style of suitcase in action and it is quite a piece for the Native guy on-the-go. It looks perfectly suited both on and off the rez and shows his cultural pride wherever his travels might take him.
9. 'War Paint' Tile with Full Metal Jacket cuff by S.T.A.M.P.S. $93 CAD.
How cool is this watch? Okay yes the band does make it geared to a guy in his teens to his thirties (unless he is an über-hipster) but this is just too good not to share.

10. Wolf Design on Converse Hi-Top by Haida Shoes*. $120 USD.
*NATIVE Business
Cool custom Haida art on shoes for just kicking it. This style of shoe is a hot item on the Native scene. I have seen them all over the net but have yet to see one in person. Get a pair for the guy on your list so he can lead the *ahem* wolf pack.

The 'War Paint' watch face looks great!
The band is nice but I wish it was a bit more fitting though. Seems a bit generic.
Great list though!
Hey Lisa! Long-time listener, first-time caller here.
I find myself wishing that you might profile a babe from the community each month or so. There are so many strong, amazing women leading the way that I think young Native men get lost in the shuffle somewhere. Our women and our men could use a reminder of how strong, sexy, and powerful our men can be. That's my little wish for the day. Just putting it out there.
Also, who DOESN'T like looking at babes!?
Reado - I agree it is a bit generic. S.T.A.M.P.S. does have other bands available, this is the best of the bunch (in my view).
Anon. - Glad to hear that you are checking out my blog. The "Urban Warrior" series is all about Native babes from all across Turtle Island who are looking good, striving to achieve, and making their own way in the concrete jungles. I know they are very popular and I will be trying to ramp up the speed of unveiling them though.
Not sure if it's still up for download, but Meta's "Manifest Destiny" is another Native Hip Hop album that's phenominal. He had it up for free download for awhile, once he released it back in June or July. Check his www.myspace.com/meta360
