THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME
The Treaty Oak is the last surviving member of the Council Oaks
Embodiment of strength & perseverance
The Treaty Oak is a historic live oak tree in Austin, Texas, estimated to be more than 500 years old and the last surviving member of the Council Oaks, a grove of 14 trees that served as a sacred meeting place for indigenous tribes and the location for the negotiation and signing of numerous treaties. Legends also hold that women of the Tejas tribe would drink a tea made from honey and the acorns of the oaks to ensure the safety of warriors in battle.
Before its vandalism in 1989, the Treaty Oak's branches had a spread of 127 feet. In 1997, the Treaty Oak produced its first crop of acorns since the vandalism. Today the tree is thriving and a symbol of strength and perseverance. As a completely woman-owned business, we know about strength and perseverance and that it takes time to build strong, renowned reputations.
