Honouring Heritage and Tradition

At Mother Earth Essentials, we are deeply rooted in the traditions and wisdom passed down through generations. Our founder, Carrie Armstrong, was inspired by her grandmother, mother and aunts’ teachings of healing plants and natural remedies, which were kept hidden out of fear but shared in moments of solitude. It was through these teachings that Carrie discovered the power of cultural wisdom to heal not only individuals but communities as well.

Carrie’s grandmother had experienced great loss and trauma as a result of the residential school system, leading her to hide her cultural knowledge to protect her family. The generational shame and disconnect from their Indigenous heritage weighed heavily on the family members, including Carrie, who initially believed it best to shield her own children from their cultural background.

However, a pivotal teaching job at an Indigenous high school in Edmonton opened Carrie’s eyes to her past and cultural identity. It was there that she saw the power of cultural teachings in revitalizing communities and recognized the importance of preserving and celebrating Indigenous traditions. Drawing from her previous experience in cosmetics and a deep desire to showcase the beauty and contributions of her culture, Mother Earth Essentials was born.

Reclaiming Cultural Identity

The history of residential schools in Canada has had a lasting impact on Indigenous communities, creating a legacy of trauma that has been passed down through generations. More than 150,000 First Nations, Métis, and Inuit children were forced to attend these schools, where they were stripped of their language, culture, and connection to their families. The lasting effects of this experience have created barriers to cultural revitalization and reconciliation.

Carrie’s journey of rediscovery and connection to her heritage led her to recognize the importance of reclaiming Indigenous identity and celebrating cultural traditions. Through Mother Earth Essentials, she aims to empower individuals to reconnect with their roots, reclaim the wisdom of their ancestors, and embrace the beauty of Indigenous culture. Carrie hopes to help others heal and find pride in their heritage by honouring the teachings of her mother, aunts, grandmother and other Indigenous elders.

Healing Through Connection

Mother Earth Essentials is more than just a company – it is a movement towards cultural preservation and empowerment. By offering workshops, community initiatives, and products that reflect traditional Indigenous knowledge, we strive to connect individuals with their heritage and help them reclaim the traditions that were once silenced. Our products, carefully crafted using traditional plants and natural ingredients, are imbued with the spirit of resilience and the wisdom of the past.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada acknowledges the need for collective efforts to revitalize the relationship between Indigenous peoples and Canadian society. Reconciliation is the goal, and it will take the commitment of multiple generations to achieve. At Mother Earth Essentials, we are committed to being a part of this journey towards reconciliation by celebrating Indigenous wisdom and sharing it with the world.
