Virtual Powwow Specials !!

In our experience… when times get tough…Natives get CRAFTING.

The Indigenous community is used to being self sufficient.  We are used to economically challenging times and we have the skill to create and survive.  Crafting is in our collective memory and we know how to reach back for those teaching and make a pair of moccasins, mitts etc to sell in order to feed our families. Tribal Spirit is reducing prices on lots of raw materials (leather, rawhide, drum kits etc) in order to help each other feed our families.  While other larger companies have been forced to shut down, we are an Indigenous Family business and we (Joywind and Rob) are making, packing, labeling and shipping every day.  The Post and Fedex are deemed essential services, and we believe that for the Native community……what we do….is also an essential service.

COVID-19 Update

Our small family-run business is still up and running and working from home as we usually do.  We are extremely well stocked and shipping daily all over Turtle Island!

    Cedarwood Deer Leather (30% OFF SPECIAL)

    44$ US – 274$ US

    Over this summer each week we are going to offer one of our leather colours at a 30% savings….We introduced the colour Cedarwood last year and it quickly became one or our most popular colours.  Cedarwood has such a rich vibe, full of texture and feels like the colour of tobacco.   On the skin side there are natural variation of brown tones which makes any craft unique and original.  The suede side is perfectly even red earth/camel shade or cedar wood. hehe…..  Summer Sales end Wednesday of each week.

    Each year during the fall hunting season we gather hides from families who are feeding their families, but they don’t need the hides.  We run around and gather them and then tan them at our tannery.  We worked very very hard this year to improve every stage of gathering and shipping so that we will get the best possible leather….you would not imagine all the various ways to mess up a perfectly good hide….

    White Deer Leather Special 30% off

    73$ US – 87$ US

    White Deer “seconds” Special 30% off this week only.

    We recently received a batch of white leather back from the tannery.  We went through all the hides and separate #1 grade from ‘seconds’.  The #1 sold out very quickly so we have decided to do a sale on ‘seconds’. Our seconds will have the odd stain and maybe a couple holes.  We would recommend ‘seconds’ for smaller projects, such as pouches, vest, bags etc…for a dress if you are willing to work with a little waste or like it a little rustic or the design is flexible, then this special will be just perfect.  Zoom in on this picture to get an idea of quality….they really are quite good, just not what we can call #1.  We have had tons of people comment that our ‘seconds’ are as goods as any #1 anywhere else.

  • Orange Leather – Cow Split 3 oz

    37$ US – 63$ US

    Over the past couple months we have received many requests for Orange coloured leather from crafters/artists who are wishing to honour the recent confirmation of the numbers of Native children who died in Canada’s ‘residential school’ system.  This has also touched us deeply as Joywind’s mother was a survivor of the Kamloops residential school.

    We have managed to secure a nice amount of Cow split leather in orange.  This leather is not quite as soft as moose split…but close to it….both sides are perfectly clean…very nice split leather.  The camera captures the colour a little on the rust side, but it really is very orange.  We are working on some orange deer we hope to have it in early August.

  • Gold Deer Leather ‘seconds’ Special

    109$ US – 218$ US

    This week we have been cleaning up our deer leather room and realized that we have an abundance of gold/tan deer leather which is not what we consider ##1…BUT there is a ton of great leather both smooth side or suede side.  SO time for a special….  We are offering bundles of 25 sq ft for $125  (3 to 4 hides) and 50 sq ft $250 (average  6 to 8 hides).  This pic is an example of 50 sq ft…pieces on left side are skin out, pieces of right suede out.  Yes there are small holes, but if you project involves cutting…(medicine pouches, for example) then this leather is perfect..and is 40% off.

    Scrap Leather Bags

  • Moose Leather – Mix Colour Bundles – ‘Seconds’

    213$ US – 299$ US

    This year we have 7 different colours of moose leather.  People have been asking for some mixtures so we decided to bundle up colours that work together and offer a little deal.  We have a Cream, Black, Gold, Royal Blue, Cedarwood, Turquoise and Cork.

    When creating moose leather there are always hides that have the membrane/skin scuffed up from the wild life the moose lived.  We put those pieces aside as ‘seconds’. The suede side is 98% perfect but smooth side not so much. But if you please to use suede side out this is a great way to save some $$. Pieces will average 6 sq ft. if you need larger sizes please go to the colour you want (scroll down on main moose leather page) and you can select different sizes.

    Moose Rawhide

    52$ US

    We have an abundance of Moose Rawhide quarters that are not big enough for drums and thought we would share with a special price.  Each piece is a quarter moose hide, the sizes run about 6 to 8 sq ft.  We are offering it in two different thicknesses.  Rattle making thickness is thinner, more pliable and easily sewn when soaked with a # 5 or #3 glover needle (in stock in our needle section).  A moose rattle makes the BEST sweat lodge rattle and also great for kid’s rattles as kids can’t chew them. The heavier-thicker pieces are great for powwow drum lacing, snowshoe lacing and other heavy crafting ties.  These pieces are NOT guaranteed to be large enough for drums.  You might get a 12″ drum out of it.  These are on a serious sale cuz we are not able to make any large drums out of them.

  • Deer Leather Natural Tones ‘Seconds’ Mixed Bundles

    305$ US – 427$ US

    Deer Leather in Natural Tones: ‘Seconds’

    This year we have a bunch of new shades of leather we could call ‘natural’ tones. We have a medium gold, cedarwood, brown, light gold, sage cream and light cream.  In the tanning business, getting perfect smooth side in colours is very tricky.  Wild hides often have scar marks, or blemishes on the smooth side of the leather, we call these ‘seconds’. The suede side is always 98% perfect.  So if you are planning on using the suede side out in your project and would like to save some $$, we strongly recommend our Deer ‘Seconds”.  Pieces average 10 sq ft.

     

  • Deer Leather Colours ‘Seconds’ Mixed Bundles

    305$ US – 488$ US

    New for this year we are now offering all kinds of coloured deer leather.  In the tanning business, getting perfect smooth side in colours is very tricky.  Wild hides often have starch marks, or blemishes on the smooth side of the leather, we call these ‘seconds’. The suede side is always 98% perfect.  So if you are planning on using the suede side out in your project and would like to save some $$, we strongly recommend our Deer ‘Seconds”.  The colour on the suede side is perfect often better than the smooth side.  I mean the red suede side is EXTREMELY red….the same goes for all the colours. If you want individual pieces in “seconds” go to the colour you need and choose from options.
