The Sage Braid: A Global Friendship Bracelet

By Alexa Rowland | Business Development Assistant

AGF is proud to say that the development of our newest item from Pine Ridge Reservation, The Sage Braid: A Global Friendship Bracelet, is underway! Despite the hard winter we all experienced, the ice has started to melt away allowing the growth of the white sage to flourish. Our women partners in South Dakota are organizing their materials to fulfill the orders for this fragrant and meaningful new bracelet!

White sage smoke has been used in Native American culture to purify people, places and objects. As you wear this bracelet, the sage will fall out and you can take part in the Native American ritual of burning the sage, and feel good about giving back to these women.

During this first quarter of 2014 we continue to reach our goal of enrolling 10 more families and reducing the community's unemployment rate.

The Sage Braid: A Global Friendship Bracelet is available for pre-order on our website, or donate right here on GlobalGiving to help with necessary supplies! We thank you for your continued support, and hope that together we can continue to empower the women on Pine Ridge Reservation!
