Sage Collection

This collection is inspired by the Southwest’s most sacred plant, the sagebrush. Sage has long been used by Indigenous peoples as a powerful medicine. Many tribes continue to use sage smoke during ceremonies to purify the mind, body, and spirit. We invite you to adorn yourself in this soft, earthy green palette as a reminder to clear your mind and embrace what lies ahead. Recognizing the significance of items like sage in traditional gifting and ceremonies, Strong Nations has curated a selection of plant medicines from Indigenous-owned businesses. This initiative helps individuals who face challenges growing or harvesting plant medicines themselves. While the ideal practice is to grow, harvest, and gift or trade these medicines, this collection of producers ensure accessibility for those who need it.
