Part of American Dakota's mission is to partner with Native American artists, providing profitable income from the sales of their designs. When the company sells an artist’s rug, 50% of all profits are split with the artist. Our partnership and close relations enables an artist to continually receive revenue as the author-of-the-work, as opposed to a one-time transaction. It also makes works-of-art more affordable for homeowners.
