White Bison Native Art, Hank Fields
As the founder of White Bison Native Art, my successes lie in the creation of a unique collection of Native American luxury items, including clothing and jewelry. My journey has been marked by my dedication to craftsmanship and the ability to match my creations with modern style, all while honoring my Native American heritage and the Seventh Generation Principle.
My business, White Bison Native Art, proudly designs a unique collection in the United States, focusing on enhancing everyday outfits with our soft cotton, bright colors, comfortable fits, and well-crafted highlights in clothing and jewelry. We offer products that embody the spirit of Native American luxury and style.
My inspiration for White Bison Native Art began in 1978 when I attended a bead-making class. This sparked a lifelong passion for creating custom jewelry and apparel, keeping the Native American jewelry-making spirit alive. My aim has always been to create pieces that are not only fashionable but also carry the essence of my Native American heritage.
White Bison Native Art is special due to its commitment to the Seventh Generation Principle, which guides our decisions to positively impact future generations. We blend this philosophy with a passion for creating Native American luxury items, ensuring each piece is unique and tells a story.
Realizing the need for expertise in product development, marketing, and strategic partnering in the unfamiliar domain of a home business, I sought SCORE’s help. Their mentorship was vital for me to successfully align my artistic vision with business acumen.
SCORE, through the guidance of my mentor Mollie Everett, played an integral role in helping me navigate the complexities of business development and management. Their support was crucial in combining my artistic passion with sound business practices.
My SCORE mentor, Mollie Everett, brought 30 years of legal, business development, and management experience. Her decisive leadership and ability to execute sound decision-making significantly contributed to the direction and success of White Bison Native Art.
