She:kon! Bridgette ionkiats. Wakeniahten niwakitahrohta. Kanien'kehaka niwakowenhntsioton. (Greetings! My name is Bridgette. The Turtle is my clan. Mohawk is my nation).
I am a reconnecting native born off the Six Nations Reservation. I am a self taught beader and have learned that beading is done through "ka'nikonri:io" which means "good mind" and that is something I take to heart and practice in each of my pieces. I hope you enjoy these beaded pieces as much as I enjoyed making them! Niaw:en kowa (thank you very much) for supporting my small business.
