This t-shirt celebrates Greta Gerwig’s major motion picture Barbie (2023) and honors Indigenous identity. Inspired by her two young daughters, Lauren Good Day created this design to help them see themselves as Indigenous Barbies. “It would be so cool to see a contemporary Native Barbie with a ribbon skirt and a Lauren Good Day hoodie. Maybe she has a pair of moccasins on. I think my daughters would love to play with a Barbie like that.”—Lauren Good Day
