My gramma made this wall pocket. My dad had kept his eagle feathers in it hung on the wall and promised it to me when he passed. I am a beader and this piece connects me to my Métis heritage with each antique bead she sewed 100 years ago.
This beaded headdress, created and gifted by a dear friend, hangs on my wall as a quiet reminder of who I am. Each thread carries memory, lineage, and love, a reminder of where I come from and the pride I carry in my Indigenous roots.
This was my mom’s guitar. She would do her singing birthday card on her guitar for the family and friends. Loved and missed. Precious memories.
