IndigeModels
A public archive of Indigenous-inspired 3D models
About the Project
This project began with a pretty simple frustration: every time I searched for “Native American” models to 3D print, all I found were tomahawks, teepees, or pan-indigenous stereotypes.
Rarely did it reflect my people and our history. So, I decided to make my own.
Through the support of the Center for Cultural Power’s Constellations Fellowship and Three Precious Miracles, I designed ten initial 3D-printable models inspired by O’otham people, places, and traditions.
I created these models under a Creative Commons License - they are meant to be freely shared, downloaded, and printed—by Community members, educators, and allies who want to explore and share our stories through technology.
