Pow Wow Pitch and Indigenously Infused: A Partnership Illuminating Indigenous Entrepreneurship
Pow Wow Pitch, the leading pitch competition for Indigenous entrepreneurs in North America, has recently announced its collaboration with Indigenously Infused. This partnership, which also involves RBC, Shopify, and Mastercard, presents an exciting opportunity to elevate Indigenous entrepreneurship and shine a light on the rich Indigenous culture and traditions.
This year, the highlight of this collaboration is the inclusion of a travel-sized sweetgrass candle from Indigenously Infused in the 2023 Pow Wow Pitch Box. Sweetgrass is a sacred medicine that has been used by Indigenous peoples for purification and healing purposes for centuries. Through this hand-poured, sweetgrass-infused candle, Indigenously Infused aims to encapsulate and share this sacred tradition on a broader scale.
The sweetgrass used in these candles isn't just any sweetgrass. It's traditionally harvested from the medicine wheel garden located at Indigenously Infused in Curve Lake First Nation. Furthermore, these candles uphold high ethical standards as they are made with natural ingredients and are both vegan and cruelty-free.
Indigenously Infused's founder, Robyn Ivory Pierson, has expressed her gratitude for this opportunity to share Indigenous culture and traditions with the world through their products. "We are pleased to partner with Pow Wow Pitch in supporting Indigenous entrepreneurship and economic growth while providing a relaxing and comforting scent to our customers," Pierson said.
The 2023 Pow Wow Pitch Box doesn't just stop at the sweetgrass candle. It further features fourteen selected products from Indigenous businesses across Turtle Island.
If you're interested in supporting Indigenous businesses and experiencing the soothing essence of the sweetgrass candle, the 2023 Pow Wow Pitch Box is available for purchase on the Pow Wow Pitch website.
