To our artist friends,

We are pleased to inform you that United Indians of all Tribes Foundation has secured a rare opportunity for Northwest Native artists and craftspeople to market their products with the United Indians brand name at a new shop within the SeaTac International Airport. We are interested in marketing authentic hand made Native artworks, as well as reviewing Native designs that could be developed into manufactured products. In the case of designs that might be selected for manufacturing a licensing agreement can be arranged between United Indians and the artisan. We are writing to encourage you to consider submitting your artwork for possible selection and inclusion in the shop.

If you wish to have your work reviewed for selection please send your contact information and samples to Audrey Gray-May at United Indians at PO Box 99100, Seattle, WA 98139 or 3801 West Government Way, Seattle, WA 98199, by March 4, 2004. United Indians is working under strict time constraints, therefore it is crucial that we are in receipt of your submissions by March 4th. Ms. Gray-May will provide you with a receipt for the items submitted. She will also notify each artist once United Indians has completed the selection process. If submissions are not selected, items can be picked up from United Indians anytime after March 28, 2004.

Products sold in the SeaTac International Airport will be priced very competitively. Along with your contact information, please identify the wholesale price at which you can afford to sell your product and make certain it is attached to any items sent to United Indians. Please be advised that pricing must be negotiable.

Should you have any questions on this opportunity please contact Ms. Gray-May at (206) 285-4425 extension 33. We look forward to working with our community’s artists and craftspeople on this opportunity to showcase and market Northwest Native products.

Sincerely,

Michelle Sanidad
Chief Executive Officer
