Beyond the Craft Message:

  • The mountain, she’s the giver of life, but life is not easy, it’s full of high peaks and low difficult valleys.
  • The only way to conquer the hard challenges is by focusing on love. A love that provides medicine to heal the heart.
  • As you heal, this love spreads from the mountain as a gift to the river. Running throughout the land.
  • Feeding the cedar trees that provide resources like shelter, clothes and transportation. The trees also influence all the teachings necessary to raise children in healthy happy lives through flexibility, resilience, protectiveness, and playfulness
  • The river continues to flow through the soul of the Puyallup tribe, filling up a life full of abundance, fed by fish, ultimately leading to a generous people from the bend at the bottom of the river
