Séliy̓ay̓ - Oregon Grape

I learned about séliýaý from my aunties who are traditional wool- and cedar-weavers in Squamish. Vibrant and richly hued, Oregon Grape (Mahonia aquifolium) is a symbol of abundance and vitality. Bursting with antioxidants, it aids the overall appearance of your skin, promoting a healthy and radiant complexion.

Ts’exts’ix - Stinging Nettle

Ts’exts’ix comes from the root word ts’ix, meaning “singed” or “burned.” My great-uncle taught me that the stinging of nettle indicates the powerful medicinal properties of this plant. Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica) is a testament to the strength in vulnerability. It's power belies a nurturing heart, rich in nutrients that invigorate and rejuvenate your skin.
