Victoria Buffalo Robe is Nehiyaw Iskwew (a Cree woman) from Saskatchewan, Canada. As a child, her aunt and mother taught her how to pick plants for traditional medicine. Today, she’s a trained aesthetician, student of herbalism, and creator of regenerative skincare and beauty using handpicked botanicals from BC and the Yukon. As a Cree woman who grew up picking flowers as medicine in Saskatchewan, she is rooted in the understanding that we humans are as much a part of the Earth as the plants and the animals we coexist with.
