Maple Sugar Candle
Sugar-sweet notes of maple syrup mix with delicious notes of vanilla and pecan in our Maple Sugar Candle.
Inspired by the Anishinaabe tradition of sugarbush tapping, designer Sarah Agaton Howes (Anishinaabe-Ojibwe) shares a bit of “the good life” with this candle. “Fall is particularly sweet as we gather the foods grown all summer and prepare for the resting time of winter,” shares Sarah. “Anishinaabe people center our lives around the seasonal activities of sugarbush tapping, wild rice harvesting, fish spawning, and more elements of our Good Life.” The sugary sap can be turned into syrup, taffy, and sugar as a delicious and traditional treat.
Poured in a classic smoky-black candleholder, our label designed by Sarah and includes the word ziinzibaakwaad, which is Anishinaabemowin (the Ojibwe language) for “maple sugar.” “It was really important to us to include an Anishinaabemowin word on the packaging of Sarah’s candle,” shares Colleen. “Reclaiming and learning our traditional languages is such an important experience for many Native people. Being able to share our languages with a wide audience is a really special next step in authentically sharing our culture with the world.”

Maple Sugar Scarf in orange/pink
Fall is one of the sweetest seasons for the Anishinaabe people thanks to one tree in particular—the sugar maple. Found throughout the woodlands of the eastern United States and Canada, sugar maples are a cornerstone of Ojibwe life, as heralds of the coming autumn with their fiery displays and sweet sap flow. Capture a bit of autumn color and seasonal sweetness in our new Maple Sugar Wool Scarf by Anishinaabe-Ojibwe artist Sarah Agaton Howes.
“Fall is particularly sweet as we gather the foods grown all summer and prepare for the resting time of winter,” shares Sarah. “Anishinaabe people center our lives around the seasonal activities of sugarbush tapping, wild rice harvesting, fish spawning, and more elements of our Good Life. The maple leaf on this beautiful wool scarf is a reminder of how important sugar maples are to Anishinaabe people. The acorns scattered across the design honor the industrious squirrels who work tirelessly in the autumn to gather the food that will sustain them during the winter.”
The colorways of each scarf honor the maple and oak forests that flame into color each fall, painting hillsides with vibrant hues from orange to purple. In sugar-sweet orange and pink, your outfit is about to get a cavity!
