What do you do?
We partner with Tribes and Tribal-affiliated companies all over the United States to make Native American products available to all. We begin by selecting the best products from Native American artisans and makers. We purchase products from the artisans in bulk, and then pass the love on to you by making the items available on our website. This helps makers tap into a wider audience and helps you easily find Native American products. This process not only supports artisans and consumers, but contributes to economic development and food sovereignty to the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska.
We also fund the Native Scholarship program. As part of this program, each year $1,250 is awarded to a Native student attending, or planning to attend, a 2 or 4-year college, community college or technical college.

Hi, Kelly! We hope you enjoy your order. I did a quick Google search and am having no luck finding willow bark. Maybe you could contact local Tribes and see if they have any resources for you. Thank you!
I am excited to purchase several items. I see you do not carry Willow Bark, can you get some? Or do you know where I can purchase in its natural form? Thank you
