A feather is more than just something found on the landβit carries prayers, wisdom, and connection. In Miβkmaw culture, feathers symbolize respect and guidance, often given in honour of a personβs strength and kindness. A sacred reminder to walk gently in this world.

A treasured companion with a practical purpose! Innu tea dolls were made for children but also carried vital supplies. Traditionally stuffed with tea or other essentials, they ensured families had what they needed on long journeys. A symbol of love, care, and resilience.
