Meet the maker

Medicines he was taught as a child.

Clinton Ray Howard is a Mi’kmaw maker and horticulture specialist from Glooscap First Nation. He started Glooscap’s Finest in 2021 to make herbal remedies and body care that carry both cultural teachings and modern plant science.

“In my experience, these are the medicines I’ve been taught to use as a child, that I’ve used to promote healing on my children, sharing with consumers the cultural aspect and knowledge of incorporating these medicines.”
