The NFT Collection
Art you can collect. Stories you can carry.
We stand at the forefront of Web3, merging the rich tradition of First Nations art with blockchain technology. Our art is not just epic; it's authentically Indigenous, crafted with deep respect for culture and heritage.
The aesthetic evokes the nostalgia of beloved trading cards, infused with the spirit of warriors and stories that resonate with timeless power. For First Nations art, we are the premiere collection on Solana — and we want you in that legacy.
NFT owners are automatically entered into all of our draws — including the Grand Prize Draw for the vacation. Once the collection sells out from the team's wallets ending in 72Ye, Hy4W & 7sNr, Thunder Totems and the Grand Prize Draw unlock.

We also run regular giveaways called Land Back Loot, featuring products made by incredibly talented Indigenous makers — delivered right to your door.

Proper Exploration
Turtle Island is the re-creation of something that already exists.
The continent of North America was originally called Turtle Island. Our goal is to travel back in time to capture the purity, life, joy, and excitement that First Nations and other Indigenous people enjoyed prior to things getting complicated. We mix a respect for nature and what it means to be part of that ancestry with our modern day reality.
Turtle Island is helping build a connective kinship that extends past our families to people in diverse and intriguing communities. Our network is bonded globally through art, participation in tasks, and supporting each other to build a better future for Indigenous people.
