BRB...

In a few days, we`re heading off to Albuquerque NM where we`ll meet up with the rest of the Bear Grease gang and get into rehearsals. Then it`s time for GON, baby!

But that means that I`m going to be taking a break from my business for a couple of weeks so I can really dive head-first into this opportunity.

That means no more social media marketing tips from me for a while... but it would mean the world to me if you would follow along on my journey with Bear Grease through my Instagram (where I`ll be vlogging as much as possible)!

What the hell is Bear Grease?

Funny you should inquire, because it`s actually wildly fascinating!

Bear Grease is a traditional Indigenous medicine. Black Bears have an unusual amount of fat on their bodies because they spend summers building up energy for hibernation. Over the winter Bears survive on this energy through their fat build up.

What can Bear Grease be used for?
The list is long, but here is a short summary
🐻 Aches & Pains - use topically to reduce inflammation
🐻 Hair Loss - use topically on spots that are balding
🐻 Skin Ailments - sun burns, bug bites, rashes, and more
🐻 Moisturizer - for dry lips, to the hide of a drum
🐻Cooking - yes... for grilling meats, bread and more

Now that you know the history of Bear Grease, let`s talk about BEAR GREASE LIVE

Stay tuned to our next grid for details!

I am still in disbelief! 😍

This is by far one of the most incredible opportunities!

During my entrepreneurial journey, I have been granted the gift of discovering more about my Indigenous identity, my heritage, my ancestors and all the history of Indigenous Peoples of Canada.

Now to be able to be at one of the largest gatherings in the world to be deeply immersed in all the Indigenous cultures of North America and beyond is simply...

𝑾 𝑰 𝑳 𝑫

I cannot wait to share this experience with you all, but most importantly, I want to learn and observe and listen actively to the knowledge keepers and their stories and their language and really take in the once in a lifetime experience to witness the rejuvenation of our people.

WHO IS JOHN BEARGREASE? John Beargrease was the son of an Anishinaabe chief and a Grand Portage band member who was born in Beaver Bay, on Minnesota’s North Shore. He is remembered for delivering mail to the communities of the North Shore from Two Harbors to Grand Portage, while also sharing news and weather with the people of these remote communities. His efforts were instrumental in connecting the people of the North Shore in a time when communication was difficult.
