Meet 8 Indigenous Beaders Who Are Modernizing Their Craft

Beadwork is a pillar of Indigenous design. While various tribes hold different design specialties—the Navajo, for example, are best known for their weaving and textiles—much of the Native community across North America makes use of glass beads in some aspect. Beads can be found on everything, from contemporary art and fashion designs to more traditional regalia pieces found at powwows. “In some cases, [regalia] involves hundreds of hours of beadwork,” says Molina Parker, an Oglala Sioux beader, profiled below. “Most of the time, you can tell what tribe someone is from just from the style of beadwork and imagery they use.”
