I'm so old, I remember when Native Visions had a boutique shop in the Broadway (now Nordstrom)/CPK wing of Los Cerritos Center.
Social Distancing review
Specializing in Native American jewelry, artwork & minerals, Native Visions has called it's current location home for several years now. Much larger than their former mall address, a plethora of Native American merchandise can be found here.
I was in need of palo santo sticks to smudge prior to a trip, so I headed to Native Visions to pick some up ASAP. Arriving right when they opened, I was greeted by a staff member, who led me to their smudging items by the entrance. She explained palo santo sticks versus resins, and gave insight into yerba santa, which I was unfamiliar with. I gathered my 2 palo santo stick bundle, and I was quickly on my way.
Service was great. The staff member & manager obliged my rapid fire questions, as I'm somewhat new to smudging. At least when it comes to items other than white sage, which I grow at home. Curbside pickup is available for online purchases, but I prefer browsing and shopping in person.
Native Visions is located across from Los Cerritos Center, on the other side of 183rd. The store is located in between Lemon Tree Spa & Vegi Wokery.
Native Visions is a great place for those looking to get into smudging & minerals. Not only is the store well stocked, but the insightful staff will help you figure out just what you are looking for. In addition, arrowheads, dreamcatchers & other Native American crafts are on display, exhibiting their expert craftsmanship & intricate detail. I'm glad Native Visions still has a store in Cerritos & I look forward to coming back...

I found a park in front of the store. When we walked in...no one said hello or welcome to our store. That was was flag number 1. As we browsed....the prices were fair and the products we loved. I tend to walk around with my hands in my jacket pockets...I'm an intuitive empath...I feel energy when I'm not trying to...but I felt someone staring at me... I looked over my left shoulder and I was being watched like a hawk by both clerks at different times..red flag number 2...as if I was planning to steal something. But still no hello to me and my girls or can I help you find something? I told my daughter....if the clerks greet the next customer coming in the door I will not purchase anything for myself. Next a white couple walked in...The clerks went out out of their to greet them. When I made it to check out...I let them know we were never greeted or acknowledged but everyone else was. I encouraged the guy clerk to treat all customers the same...My daughter picked up a few things. I told the clerk what happened...he apologized but the other female clerk who walked right past us heard the conversation but did not look our way...We're black and...
Read moreI got introduced to this store by my mom when it was still in the Cerritos mall , & I always into crystals , Native Visions is something really special about the customer service & the way they handle each customer. From going in there years later from discovery I still had crystals & now I’m feel about it , the energy when I walked in was so positive & calm, it’s like I can ask the workers anything and they would know it , & not judge me which I like. All good vibes from that store I always got helped & they always greet me when I come in & the prices for all of their crystals & incense, sage & etc is pretty fair. Not overprice some other places. But this place is magical. There’s something for...
