Walking Sky Candles

Welcome to Walking Sky Candles, where we bring the rich heritage and traditions of Native American culture to life through our exquisite collection of handmade soaps and candles. We are passionate about preserving and celebrating our indigenous roots, while sharing the beauty and wisdom of our ancestors with the world.
Our Story

At Walking Sky Candles, we believe that culture should be celebrated and shared. Our founder, Nikki - Karoniakeson (Walking Sky), a proud Mohawk/Kanienʼkehá꞉ka and Greek/Italian descendant, experienced the challenges of navigating between different cultures firsthand. Feeling like the odd one out, she decided to embrace her unique heritage and create a brand that would honor her Native American roots.

Inspired by her upbringing in both Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, and Kahnawake Mohawk Territory, Nikki embarked on a journey to bridge the gap between cultures. She began sharing Native-centered content on TikTok (@recycldstardust), spreading awareness and educating others about the vibrant Native American traditions that are often overlooked.

Driven by a deep desire to offer authentic Native American-made products to those who seek a genuine connection with indigenous culture, Nikki founded Walking Sky Candles. Combining her passion for craftsmanship, cultural heritage, and environmental sustainability, she meticulously handcrafts each soap and candle to create a truly immersive experience.

Our Products
Every soap and candle at Walking Sky Candles is meticulously handcrafted with love and care. We meticulously select natural and ethically sourced ingredients to ensure the highest quality and authenticity. We incorporate sacred plants such as sweetgrass, cedar, and sage, which hold significant spiritual and cultural value within Native American traditions.

Our scents are thoughtfully chosen to provide a unique sensory experience, blending traditional ingredients with complementary elements. From the soothing aroma of lavender to the earthy warmth of tobacco and the purifying essence of sage, each fragrance is a harmonious blend that invites you to embrace tranquility and reconnect with nature.

By choosing our products, you not only support an indigenous-owned business but also become part of a movement to promote cultural appreciation and understanding. Our soaps and candles are more than just aromatic indulgences; they are gateways to a world of heritage, spirituality, and connection.

Join us on this journey of cultural exploration, where every purchase becomes an opportunity to honor and celebrate Native American traditions.
