About

My name is Karleen Many Guns, and I am the founder of Many Guns Trading Co., a brand I launched two years ago from creativity, community, and encouragement. What began as a simple request from my sister to design four logos quickly turned into something much bigger—a vision rooted in identity, art, and Indigenous excellence.

I created four original logos, including my signature icon, along with several bold, distinctive designs that reflect my creative style. I enjoy the classics like you'll see in the Elvis remixes made plus a bit of a comics nerd. And got a touch of the western style in designs plus bags. Beyond building my own brand, Many Guns Trading Co. was also created as a platform to uplift and promote other Indigenous brands that align with my values and the spirit of my business name.

I have also operated a concession at powwows, giving me firsthand experience as a vendor and a deep understanding of the powwow and market space. Bringing Many Guns Trading Co. into powwows and markets felt like a natural extension of that journey—adding something creative, meaningful, and community-driven to spaces I have long been part of.

Today, I share my work at markets, powwows, and conferences—wherever community gathers—connecting through design, storytelling, and wearable art. Many Guns Trading Co. is more than a business; it is a creative space that celebrates Indigenous talent, collaboration, and pride. All of this work is for EVERYONE to wear!
