Behind Our Designs
As you will find, much of our work is influenced by Native American art and culture, particularly First Nations woodland beadwork. This ancient art form began with stones, shells, animal hair, and quills. As a result of colonization, European glass beads became available through trade and were the new primary material used by Indigenous craftspeople. Of all the beadwork designs, floral motifs were the most predominant, with some geometric designs being found. Stylistic choices such as plants, symmetry, and color conveyed different messages regarding social, spiritual, and cultural messages.
