A little everyday luxury, thoughtfully handcrafted. 🌿

One of the things I appreciate about carrying handcrafted skincare is discovering the creativity and care that goes into making even the most ordinary products.

This beautiful Skywoman Body Scrub is made by Sequoia Soaps, an Indigenous woman-owned company founded in 2002 by Michaelee Lazore, who is Mohawk and Northern Paiute.

Inspired by the Haudenosaunee story of Skywoman, the scrub combines pure cane sugar and organic olive oil with a lovely citrus and floral fragrance featuring notes of plumeria.

Unlike a traditional sugar scrub, this emulsified formula transforms into a lotion-like consistency when mixed with water. The sugar crystals gradually dissolve as you massage the scrub onto your skin.

I also love Sequoia’s story. Michaelee began making soaps in her kitchen while working as an engineer. Her passion for creating beautiful, handcrafted products eventually led her to pursue soapmaking full-time.

Today, Sequoia continues to design, produce, and package its products in its own studio, with an emphasis on thoughtfully sourced ingredients and sustainable production.

Skywoman Body Scrub | 5 oz | $18

Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day!

Today we celebrate the cultures, creativity, resilience, and contributions of Indigenous peoples—not only as part of history, but as vibrant, living communities shaping our world today.

At Old Cedar Native Arts, we believe that Indigenous art is more than something to admire. It is a reflection of the people, places, experiences, and creative traditions that shape our lives.

As a Native-owned small business, we’re honored to share the work of Indigenous artists and makers, from established artists to emerging voices, and from traditional handwork to contemporary expressions of art and design.

On Indigenous Peoples’ Day and throughout the year, we encourage you to seek out Indigenous artists, learn about their work, and support Native-owned businesses.

A little something from the skincare shelves today. 🍓

Strawberry Moon Lotion is handcrafted by Sequoia Soaps, an Indigenous woman-owned company founded by Michaelee Lazore. Michaelee is Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) from Akwesáhsne and Northern Paiute from Nevada, and Sequoia’s products are designed, produced, and packaged in their own working studio.

The lotion pairs the scent of strawberry with soft floral notes and is inspired by the Strawberry Moon—the full moon that arrives around the time the first strawberries ripen. It’s made with organic olive oil and 99.25% natural ingredients, with a formulation designed for daily moisturizing after a bath or shower.

I love carrying skincare alongside art and jewelry at Old Cedar because beautifully and thoughtfully made things can be part of our everyday routines, too.

Sometimes a small piece of art is all you need to make a handwritten note feel special.

Elk Crossing features artwork by Cree-Métis author, illustrator, and artist Julie Flett, whose distinctive illustrations may already be familiar to readers of contemporary Indigenous children’s literature. Her work has received numerous honors, including the Governor General’s Award for Children’s Literature and the American Indian Library Association Award for Best Picture Book.

The artwork is reproduced on a 4.75 × 6.5-inch blank folding card with an envelope, leaving the inside open for your own message. The card is designed and manufactured in Canada by Native Northwest⁠, which licenses artwork from Indigenous artists and pays artists through fees and royalties.

A little artwork to send, give, frame—or keep.

A beautifully made bar of soap can be a small piece of art in the everyday.

To***co Soap is handcrafted by Sequoia, a 100% Indigenous woman-owned company founded in 2002 by Michaelee Lazore, who is Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) from Akwesáhsne and Northern Paiute from Nevada. Sequoia designs, produces, and packages its products in its own working studio.

This 4 oz bar has a warm honey-tobacco scent with hints of vanilla and patchouli. It’s made with canola, coconut and olive oils along with organic shea butter and organic castor oil, and Sequoia describes the formulation as 98% natural ingredients with no artificial colors.

I love carrying handcrafted goods like these alongside artwork and jewelry—beautiful, thoughtfully made things that become part of everyday life.

Bold color, strong geometry, and a design that makes a statement without feeling heavy.

The Morning Star Earrings were designed by Bethany Yellowtail of B.YELLOWTAIL. Bethany is a citizen of the Northern Cheyenne Nation and comes from the Mighty Few District of the Apsáalooke (Crow) Nation. She founded B.YELLOWTAIL in 2015 with a commitment to authentic Indigenous representation in fashion and to using design as a way to uplift Native women and communities.

Made from 18K gold-plated stainless steel, the earrings measure approximately 2½ × 1¼ inches and are lightweight despite their substantial visual presence. Each pair comes in a B.YELLOWTAIL keepsake box.

A beautiful example of contemporary Indigenous design made for everyday wear.

"Who Were Those Chicks Yous Were Talking to Last Night" is a watercolor image by Anishinaabe artist and educator Gerald White, whose paintings often depict the Jingle Dress and Men’s Woodland dance traditions of the Leech Lake area. Gerald has been painting primarily in watercolor for more than 30 years and credits Anishinaabe painter Carl Gawboy with inspiring him to begin working in the medium. He was also a 2019 artist-in-residence at the Minnesota Historical Society, where he researched powwow regalia specific to Woodland style.

The reproduction is a giclée print on archival cotton paper, measuring 11 × 14 inches. A 1½-inch border around the image means it fits a standard 11 × 14 frame without requiring a mat. It’s currently available for $60.

A wonderful example of how humor, observation, and everyday moments can find their way into contemporary Native art.

A bright shot of color for the beginning of fall. 💚

These Lime Green Cascade Fringe Earrings are handmade by Tasha Tetpon of Moongrove Beads, an Inupiaq and Athabaskan artist and beadworker.

Tasha grew up in Anchorage, Alaska, and describes nature as her greatest source of inspiration. A self-taught beadworker, she has also learned from other Alaska Native beaders and studied color theory through college art courses. Through Moongrove Beads, she creates work that celebrates individuality and creative expression while carrying forward her Alaska Native heritage and culture.

The earrings are made with size 11 glass seed beads and nickel-free, silver-plated surgical steel ear wires. At 3¾ inches long, all that cascading fringe gives them plenty of movement.

Currently $55, regularly $70, at OldCedarNativeArts.com.
