Products: Botanical products

About: HerbnHood was created to promote sovereignty and traditional healing through natural, botanical products and empowering apparel. As an Onkwehonwe, the Mohawk word for First People, I believe the earth provides everything needed for health and wellness. That is why I use high-quality, plant-based ingredients inspired by Onkwehonwe teachings. From medicinal teas and remedies to self-care products, HerbnHood uses organic, home-cultivated herbs grown with reverence for the land.

HerbnHood products can be found on Etsy as well as retailers in Portland OR and Kahnawake, the Mohawk reserve where my family resides. I also vend at powwows, the Indigenous Marketplace, and farmers markets throughout the Pacific Northwest. It is an honor to be able to offer high-quality products to my community and share the Traditional Ecological Knowledge that has been passed down to me. Agriculture for the culture!

- Botanical Products: Over the years I have been blessed with amazing teachers who have shown me the magic of plants. I got to apprentice with Laurie Books with TwoSpirit Medicinals, I took an ethnobotany internship with Wisdom of the Elders, and participate in an online mentorship program with Rowen White and another with Permaculturist Heather Jo Flores. There are many other amazing people who have helped me along the way and I hope to be able to share what I have learned as I take seriously my duty to be a caretaker of the land.

- Ovarian Swag: My designs honor our first home, the uterurs. Colonial governments have politicised and criminalized our bodies. As a full spectrum birth worker, water protector and reproductive justice advocate I want people to know the power we hold. These designs start important conversations and I am proud to be a part of this movement.
