National Indigenous Peoples Month 🪶
Today, we share a small glimpse of something we’ve been quietly working on for months.
As Indigenous people, we are inherent storytellers. Story is not just something we tell: it is something we carry, live, and pass forward through our hands, our teachings, and our creative work.
Through the foundation laid by Valerie, we honour the roots of the last 20 years she has built with RavenSong, an Indigenous woman whose vision and artistry shaped soap-making into more than a craft, but a way to hold and share Indigenous stories, land-based teachings, and memory in every bar.
Now, under the care of Ali, the new owner of RavenSong, we continue that responsibility with deep respect. We have been creating a series of videos that bring forward authentic Indigenous makers: moccasin makers, carvers, and artisans—who are actively shaping culture and carrying tradition forward in real time. These stories are about Indigenous joy as much as they are about heritage. We deserve joy, laughter, celebration, and success not only recognition of resilience, but space to thrive in our fullness.
Many of the pieces you see are still made the way they have always been made: with two hands, intention, and knowledge passed down, not mass produced. This is what makes them alive.
This is just a small moment from one of those videos, featuring someone special to Ali and to this next chapter of RavenSong shared with gratitude, and with more stories still to come.
