"In this beadwork collection, I explore the connection between Indigenous land protection and the celebration of the landscapes that define my Nehiyaw, Ojibwe, and Métis heritage. Through each bead interlaced with intention, my art narrates a vibrant testament to the sanctity of the land and the unyielding commitment of Indigenous stewardship. It is an invitation to witness the tradition of beadwork intertwined with advocacy for land preservation, reflecting a journey that honors our past while forging a sustainable path forward.
