Sapling & Flint, an Indigenous lifestyle company specializing in gold and sterling silver jewelry, was founded by identical twin sisters Dakota Brant and Yonenyà:kenht Jesse Brant. Their brand's mission is to disseminate knowledge about the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) and to design contemporary clothing that reflects the aesthetic sensibilities of their community.

The sisters' experience as mothers of Kanyen'kéhaspeaking children made them cognizant of the need to improve the lives of Indigenous youth by providing them with accurate and positive portrayals of their communities in mainstream media As a result, in 2014, they established Sapling & Flint, formerly named Twindian Designs, a name change that took place in April 2017

According to the Ohswekén'a Creation Story, the physical world as we know it was created by twin boys called Sapling and Flint, who were born to Skywoman's daughter Sapling & Flint is the name the Brant sisters gave to their business in remembrance of these twin brothers and in appreciation for the wisdom and experience they gained from their clan's elders.
