Native Land Benefits Ojibwe Language Institute

We love to do the unexpected at Heart Berry. Our Native Land Scarf collaboration is truly in the spirit of creating collaborations no one saw coming to benefit the good work.  With our friends at the MN Wonderwall we have been able to do a series of collaborations! Two tifos, an award winning design, a record breaking shirt fundraiser, and donated over $15,000 to Wakan Tipi and Minnesota Indian Women's Sexual Assault Coalition.  We believe in bringing our art to the world and sharing how it can tell our stories, while centering Native narratives.

First Ojibwe Flag at Allianz Field

Heart Berry unfurled the first ever Ojibwe flag this sunday on Indigenous People's Eve with Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan and House Representative Jamie Becker-Finn.  This flag follows the fundraiser with our friends at the MN Dark Clouds for Minnesota Indian Women's Sexual Assault Coalition last year where our supporters and community raised $9,430 for MIWSAC to create a Survivor's Fund from Crewneck Sales!  We loved this so much we took it further and made a flag to wave in the Wonderwall at Allianz Field, the home of the Minnesota United Loons, Minnesota's MLS team. We cheered on our team to a 2-0 win!
