Miss Anne’s Maypop Herb Shop is celebrating a powerful new chapter: the purchase of a permanent home in New Orleans.

Miss Anne’s Maypop Herb Shop is owned by Anne White Hat, a Sicangu Lakota / Ihanktowan Dakota herbalist from the Aśkė Gluwipi Tiospaye on the Rosebud Sioux Reservation.

After more than 16 years of serving the Bvlbancha / New Orleans community from small spaces in the Bywater, Miss Anne’s Maypop has secured a beautiful historic Creole cottage, double shotgun-style house in Tremé.

This move is more than an expansion. It is Indigenous Herbalism, LAND BACK, and rematriation in action.

The new space will allow Miss Anne’s Maypop to double its retail space, expand herbal services, create consultation and clinic space, host herb school classes and workshops, build a larger medicine-making production area, grow a demonstration herb garden, and launch podcast / online radio programming centering Indigenous Herbalism, Indigenous Women’s Radio, and disaster relief communications.

Funds raised will support moving and transition costs, including renovations, retail fixtures, shelving, equipment, a new roof, solar installation, signage, licensing, medicine-making supplies, gardening tools, native and medicinal plants, and labor.

Miss Anne’s Maypop Herb Shop is raising $60,000 to help bring this vision to life and settle into its new permanent home.

Folks can support by donating or purchasing medicine directly from the shop.
