Long Description
Lakota Made LLC: A Leader in Indigenous First Medicines and Sustainable Personal Care
Lakota Made LLC is an Indigenous-owned and operated business specializing in natural, eco-friendly personal care products and traditional plant-based medicines. Founded in 2017 by Megan L. Bull Bear, a member of the Sicangu Oyate (Rosebud Sioux Tribe), Lakota Made is rooted in generations of Lakota knowledge and sustainable practices.
The company is committed to regenerative agriculture, cultural preservation, and environmental responsibility, offering a diverse range of products, including herbal remedies, skincare, haircare, and household essentials, all crafted from locally and ethically sourced ingredients. Lakota Made prioritizes plastic-free packaging, zero-waste production, and sustainable harvesting methods, ensuring minimal environmental impact while maintaining the highest quality standards.
Beyond its products, Lakota Made is a community-focused enterprise dedicated to education, empowerment, and Indigenous economic development. The business provides workshops, online resources, and partnerships with Indigenous artists and vendors, creating opportunities for cultural exchange and economic growth within Native communities.
As Lakota Made expands, it is working toward vertical integration by establishing its own farm, where it will grow and process traditional medicinal plants. This strategic move will further reduce costs, enhance product quality, and increase profit margins while promoting land stewardship and self-sufficiency.
Lakota Made’s impact extends beyond commerce—it is a movement that honors traditional knowledge, promotes environmental sustainability, and uplifts Indigenous entrepreneurship, making it a leader in the natural products industry.
