Indigenous Handcrafts for the Homesteaders Co-Op
View this post on Hive: Indigenous Handcrafts for the Homesteaders Co-Op
Since the Steem blockchain became a centralized, top-down dominated place, where control and censorship thrive, I have decided to move my content. Don't worry, though, all my posts and up and doing well on the decentralized Hive blockchain. Come and check it out!
I love how you are bringing the indigenous people's artwork to the co-op. It certainly adds to the sustainable aspect in a beautiful way. I just joined last week and am excited to be a part of this growing community of vendors. Great post stortedbeker
Thank you for your lovely words, @sunscape, and welcome to the co-op! Yes, I'm sure once up and going, this will be a wonderful addition to both the co-op and the artisans in the community.
Hi @stortebeker, this is a wonderful initiative you are taking on. I believe it will be rewarding for you to get to know these communities better. It is very selfless of you to want to help them by offering sales and not take any commission. Though we have a no reselling policy at HSCO I think this initiative could be an exception. I think it would be extremely important to show the direct story of the vendors you are selling on behalf of, including what they hope to get our of your relationship and their story about the history or culture in their products. Perhaps you could record their words directly either by transcribing or perhaps by video. I feel it is important to have their message coming through as directly as possible since it is these people that you hope to honor, and not just their products.
Wow the bandana hasn't arrived yet! I hope it does not take too much longer. I appreciate the gesture of the gift, it is very beautiful and thoughtful. I am happy knowing that you acquired the gift by putting pesos directly in the hands of el Decá community. Good for you @stortebeker!
Looking to hear more as you talk further with these folks.
Well, I wouldn't call it completely selfless, as in my experience things tend to come back to you, good or bad. So I'd rather make it good.
As for your gift, it's ready to be mailed out... once you give me your address (in a pm on Discord).
Well said.. what goes around comes around :) DM'ing you now. Thank you
It's really annoying that we don't have an effective, fast and reliable mailing system. Once I wanted to give away a 'mate' kit on Steem, but the mailing costs would be 3 times the price of the cuya and the rest of the aparatus - wtf
We have amazing ways of payment, not it's time for a blockchanized mailing system hahaha
A-men to that! Except for it's pretty hard to conceive digital solutions to something as hard and tangible as transporting actual things around.
