Do you shop on Etsy?
One of the biggest winners to emerge from the e-commerce boom has been Etsy. As you may know, Etsy is a global online marketplace, focused on handmade or vintage items. It's a great low-barrier platform for independent artists who want to showcase their work and make a little money by sharing their gifts with the world.
If you know where to look, Etsy can be one of the best places to find authentic Native American goods, handmade by indigenous people, in North America. Many people in the Powwows.com community are avid Etsy shoppers and know where to go to find the best deals on one-of-a-kind Native goods. If you're newer to the platform or just want to make more of a concerted effort to support Native artists, we've compiled a list of 10 of our favorite Native American products on Etsy for $20 and under.
Take a look.

6. Caŋṡaṡa Native American Ceremonial Herbal Blend – Starting at $18
If you're looking for something to burn for a ceremony or prayer, consider Caŋṡaṡa. This Native American ceremonial herbal tobacco, also known as Kinnikinnik or Mountain Smoke, emits a beautifully fragrant smoke that awakens the senses and leaves you feeling relaxed and at peace. Caŋṡaṡa is the Lakota word for “red willow,” which is the traditional and primary ingredient in this mix. Since the blend uses the inner bark rather than the outer bark of the red willow, you'll find it's much more aromatic and burns much more easily. This product does not contain any tobacco or tobacco products.
