“The ingredients in this beverage inspired me the most. I paired the lemons, strawberries, and blueberries with Dakota Florals. I included the rivers that flow through Tinta Wita also known as the Prairie Island Indian Community, showcasing the love and appreciation for the water that gives us and these ingredients life.”
