Announcement    Major (Northern Cheyenne) & Michelle Robinson welcome you to Sage & Oats, Helena Montana's only NATIVE-owned boutique, brick-and-mortar gift shop. Our shop doors opened in the summer of 2018 and shortly after, we were recognized by the Montana Department of Commerce as the 2019 MADE IN MONTANA RETAILER OF THE YEAR! As a registered Native Made & Made in Montana retailer, we specialize in handcrafted gifts which celebrate Montana’s rich history, culture & diversity.

On our site, you will see a cross-section of artisan wares from our Tribal Nations, Native Made & Made in Montana novelty gifts, Indigenous foods, as well as products from our Canadian Indigenous neighbors.

We support causes that directly impact Indian Country – such as access to clean water, Every Child Matters (residential boarding school), MMIWP (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women/People), “Our Culture is not a Costume”, and more.

Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have by emailing us at sageandoats [!at] gmail.com.

Frequently asked questions

Custom and personalized orders

At this time, we do not offer customized or personalized orders. If you select an item from our drop down menu, we will send you that item. Please do not request color modifications, etc. via message. We will no longer cancel/refund orders that select the item and then request modifications. The item you selected will be shipped and you will be charged for that item.

Gift wrapping and packaging

We can gift wrap an item at a modest cost. Please indicate gift wrap at time of purchase. You can always include a message to your recipient simply by indicating "gift."

Care instructions

If you purchase a fleece blanket from our shop, please note these are machine washable. We recommend a cold cycle to start for maintaing vibrant colors. We also recommend a low cycle on the dryer.
We include care instructions on all item listings that require special handling.

Sizing details

Uncertain of dimensions, ask before you purchase. This is especially important to ensure medallion strands will fit over your head, musical instruments are the right size for use, and to prevent requests for return.

We will no longer accept returns on musical instruments, such as the flutes, hand drums, native rattles or drums. These items are carefully packaged to ensure the integrity of the craftmanship is intact and the buyer receives a quality, affordable piece. Contact me immediately if the item arrives damaged from shipping.

Return Restrictions

We will not accept returns of wind instruments (flutes) due to concerns over hygiene. The nature of a wind instrument is that the player will put his/her mouth on the instrument. All sales of flutes are final. Please feel free to ask questions about size, pitch, tone, etc before placing an order.

During this time of COVID we cannot accept returns on blankets, apparel, socks, hats, stuffed animals, jewelry or body salves/lotions/soaps, etc.

Please contact us immediately if your item arrives broken to discuss exchange/replacement options.

First class domestic Shipping

Unless you pay for priority shipping, we will be unable to guarantee arrival of items. We will also not refund purchases that don't arrive, if you elect to not insure or ship priority mail.

Online sales have picked up and the postal service says to allow for more time. First class packages have taken a "back-seat" to priority and often end up in postal distribution centers longer than projected.

We've seen this trend since the holiday shipping trend of 2020 and it continues today with weather and other related delays.

Accidental Purchases Asking for Return

In short, shop owners are assessed fees for every transaction that occurs. We will no longer process returns for an accidental purchase. Please be mindful of completing your transaction. If possible, we may be able to do an exchange, but we will no longer grant a refund.

Wholesale availability

We do not offer wholesale at this time. We hope to launch a wholesale option for some of our items in the spring of 2024.

Messaging to Add an Item

We do not see your form of payment so we cannot add items after you have placed an order. You will need to place another order for the item. During this busy season, it is difficult to combine shipping and issue refunds for shipping overages. Orders are packaged based on the promised date of fulfillment.
