Our last year's fundraiser was such a success, thanks to all of you! We didn't anticipate that so many people would want one of these cotton totes, and unfortunately we ran out. So this year, we decided to offer them again!

ABOUT OUR FUNDRAISER:
We're selling these useful totes to help raise funds to repair our Lakota ceremonial grounds, and fulfill our commitment to replanting indigenous medicines in our homeland on the Pine Ridge reservation in Great Plains. 

At the core of Lakota healing, is our cultural practices. Every summer, we gather with our relatives to celebrate, pray, and heal. The place where we come together is in need of repair, and we always need supplies to continue and share our cultural teachings and traditions with the community. So we're asking for your help!

While supplies last (we ran out last year!), we're offering these 100% recycled cotton totes to raise the funds needed. Every dollar will be donated to the repair work, and supplies needed for our gathering in July. A project in conjunction with our non-profit parter Mita Oyate Cultural Society.

ABOUT THE TOTE:
These eco-friendly totes are made with 100% recycled cotton. They're sturdy, spacious, and have wide shoulder straps for extra comfort. They can even be rolled up and secured with a brass metal snap to save space and take it with you anywhere! Please see photos :)

This year we're offering two tote designs! Please remember to select which one you want! Or if you can't decide, we have an option to add both to your cart. Wopila—thank you for your support!

BOOSTER INGREDIENTS:

Why is the Booster blue? Pure essential oil distilled from Yarrow flower is a beautiful deep blue or green color. Yarrow is a traditional remedy that helps calm skin inflammation, redness, and speed wound healing. It's a natural toner and astringent and also antimicrobial which is why it's an ingredient in our Booster. 

HOW TO USE:

Mix equal parts (about two tsp.) with water and/or apple cider vinegar (we recommend using vinegar if you have it!) using a non-metal bowl and utensil to make a smooth paste. Add in 2-3 drops of Healing Clay Booster and stir to mix. Apply a thin layer to clean skin and leave for 10-15 minutes then rinse gently with warm water. Follow with Native Botanicals Glow Elixir or your favorite moisturizer. Repeat once a week for best results. 

Please consider a spot test or using less time for sensitive skin.

Why shouldn't you use metal? 
Bentonite clay is sedimentary clay composed of weathered and aged volcanic ash. It has a negative charge, meaning that it can bind to positively charged toxins to draw them out of skin. Whenever the clay comes in contact with metal, it loses its charge and becomes less effective at binding and therefor drawing out toxins.
