Indian Tribes of North America are considered the most accomplished bead workers in the world.
Using animal bones & teeth, clay, copper and stone, their early works of art reflected a connection to Mother Earth
that honored the traditional beliefs of the people.
With the introduction of glass beads by the Europeans, this art form was elevated to a new level of beauty by allowing more time to focus on design concepts
rather than the creation of individual beads.
