Holiday Shopping at Indigenous Abya Yalan Stores! (aka: Native American Businesses)
As we celebrate Native American Heritage Month and continue with the holiday season getting gifts for friends and family – lets shop at stores owned by the people from the First Nations of this land!
Heart Berry
New Day Socks
These cute socks are a must-have! Woven by artists of the Ojibwe nation. We also love the “thank you” noted at the bottom of their product page – reminding us of the importance of purchasing from indigenous communities – not products by large corporate companies designed to look as though they are designed by people from First Nations.
(Note: This item is advertised with a non-plant-based blanket on their website.)
