Beadwork

Drin hǫzǫ, my name is Allison, I am an artist from Trʼondëk hwëchʼin, I am Tukudh and Hän and I live in Dawson City.

I grew up with Shënyą, my mom sewing my whole life and started to get my own interest for beading and sewing. I enjoy different types of hands on projects and I enjoy singing and drumming with the hän singerʼs. starting from a young age I was always assisting my mom in workshops, so through her teachings and these workshops I know how to make many things from big projects to little ones. For personal projects I enjoy earrings mostly and making gifts for my family. I look forward to this years Adäka cultural festival and sharing out work as well as traditions. Mähsi cho!
