If there's anything the Plains tribes of North America are famous for it's their spectacular bead work; each tribe, sometimes each band or family, has its own traditions and iconic symbols, and at least one family member who can make these spectacular works of art. In the 21st century this traditionally women's art is also practiced by men.

An itty-bitty pair of beads clinging to the tippy-top of a single blade of grass.
This is what I sacrifice to take nice pictures for you people. My butt got wet. Sodden with nature's dew. All the neighborhood kids made fun of me. Threw stones at my head. Hockey-tied me. Fired missiles into my home. Stole my wife and demanded a ransom of one million pieces of delicious candy.
Sacrifices. That's what Flickr is all about.
In 2012, as an act of empowerment, Koski began beading over small kitsch figures depicting stereotypes of Indigenous Peoples, commonly found in tourist shops, toy store and theme parks. Ussing a technique called bead weaving, the artist wraps these co-called “native dolls” in a protective armour against the clichéd biases related to the inundation of such figures, leaving only their eyes revealed to gaze back at their observers. Koshi’s figures offer the viewer much to contemplate.
These were some of key fobs my son made. He used to bead belts, these keyfobs, pens, earrings...you name it!!! "Griz" is the name of Missoula's Football team! I came across this pic and thought I'd show them.!! :) Have a nice day!! My youngest son made me a beautiful car key holder fob with my name on it....and I lost it over at Glacier Park!!!! 😭
In her art practice, Partridge includes any available materials that are at hand – cloth, beads, discarded items – while her written and spoken words touch on what is happening in the world, including Indigenous issues. Apirsait are spiritual helpers, creatures found in Inuit Nunangat, who are called upon in times of need.

The little pendants on the dress are elk teeth (most likely, falsies); the tooled leather belt is unusual and unusually beautiful. Note that it's all trimmed with ribbons (especially notable, the big orange one down the dancer's back) and bead work.

For over a decade, Nazon has created celestial beadwork designs that blend traditional beading techniques with her fascination with images from the Hubble space telescope. The abstract nature of the celestial photographs allows the artist to be more interpretive. With a mixture of representational and stylized aesthetics, she can incorporate different materials such as caribou bone and willow seeds, that have location-specific significance.
Speaking to strength of tradition and one’s ancestors, these Apsaalooké-style beaded cuffs are made from layers of Kevlar ballistic fabric, a material five-times stronger than steel. Not unlike the cuffs adorning the wrists of the Wonder Woman character (of past and present), these too are bullet proof, protective fashion accessories for facing colonialism and its perpetrators.
Meine erste Häkelkette dieser Art. Die umperlte Kugel mit Schlaufe ist zugleich Verschluss wie auch Eyecatcher dieser Kette. Die rötlichen Perlen haben einen wunderbaren Schimmer, wenn das Licht sie umspielt.
The artist created this beaded doctor’s bag for her parents to honour the memory of their son and her brother, Jesse Pittwewetam Gustafson, who died in 2015. This work is layered with meaningful and personal imagery to inspire and comfort.

Zuni beadwork evolved from tourist souvenirs to delicate figure that ae meticulously and painstakingly beaded, one seed bead at a time. Here, the artists have used the traditional peyote stitch to depict and reimagine pop culture superheroes – like Batman, Marvel’s Black Widow and Black Panther, and even Minion Hawkeye and Hulk.

Boyer’s work often examines what can be seen as contradictory experiences. During the COVID lockdown, the artist maintained her connection with nature and the land by watching the prairie sky from her window. She conceived of this work as an exploration of her identity as Métis, White settler and Queer, represented through the relationship among the sun, clouds and sky. For Boyer, the work ”materially connects my body, and the skies of places that were formative to understanding myself.”
