This week I was invited to speak at IAS, Princeton NJ for the 6th Annual Munsee Language & History Symposium ❤️

I shared my beading journey of healing and had so many personal works traveling with me to show and speak on their stories and the different stages of my life I made them in. It was true honour to share Lenape Creations in this special way to not only my community members but with other Munsee Delaware relatives from Ontario and the States 🥰

My presentation followed by many amazing Lenape, Munsee, Delaware artists who shared their own beadwork and quill skills that I was so happy to see and ofc meet them all in person!! 😍

I’m still getting my story out there, and this opportunity was a true milestone in sharing my storytelling through art and how beading has helped me gain self-confidence and connection to my identity as a Lenni Lenape woman. This was my first invite back to my homelands to speak on my story of beadwork, and I hope to continue to return and share my artwork here in anyway possible.

Featuring my newest Lenape Creations Medallion, my quilled Sassafras Earrings, my newest Pickerel Hide Bracelet and my very first T-Dress! Officially my 6th sewing project and only my 3rd one completed independently. So proud to wear my dress for the first time at this very special event surrounded by community and those wanting to learn 🥰

Much love to all who attended, and those who listened through Zoom. I will eventually be able to share the full recording of my presentation at a later date ❣️ Anushiik for the trust in letting me lead the Artists Discussion and for the many compliments!

Mirrored Orange 2-Tier Earrings 🏵️🧡

Carefully crafted as a piece of comfort, protection, remembrance, and to carry truth. Every Child Matters. These earrings feature beautiful mirrored eagle feathers, an orange handprint, and the number 215.

The number references the 2021 recovering of 215 innocent children in an unmarked mass grave site at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School. We honour the children who never returned home and seek that everyone learns, and takes action against hate and discrimination ❤️‍🩹 We continue to live in an insane world where our trauma is questioned, where people parade their hate and ignorance so blatantly.

As an Indigenous artist, creating beaded pieces like this is one of the ways I carry these stories forward. September 30: the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation & Orange Shirt Day is a time for remembrance, grief, healing, reflection, and coming together. It can also be a day to honour whatever we each need in order to keep our own Medicine Wheel balanced as Indigenous peoples, while carrying these stories.

Please be there for one another and take care while navigating the many different events, gatherings, and emotions that may come with tomorrow. And for everyone: How are you working towards reconciliation? 🧡

11/0 Miyuki, Delicas, and vintage Toho beads with rhinestone banding, on silver surgical studs with glittery vinyl backing. 4 inches Long, roughly 1.5 inches Wide. 🏷️ $250 today only.
Pickup in Hiawatha First Nation or plus shipping available 🇨🇦 DM to claim now ~ E-transfer only.

The 2026 Powwow Trail ended at Curve Lake Powwow ❤️ That’s 6 powwows this summer for Lenape Creations!!

I’m so thankful for all the love shown to my beadwork this past weekend and so on. There’s truly no better feeling than hearing people gasp at beadwork I spent countless hours creating ✨ You can’t pick just one favourite from my booth. It’s Top 5 minimum ❤️🪡🤗

46 one-of-a-kind creations are now available on my website - all handmade by me ofc :) 🇨🇦 Shop link in bio!

Anushiik, Thank you to the 9 lovely people who found a piece they connected with and chose to support my work, and to everyone who stopped by, admired my work, asked questions, and followed along here! I am so grateful for you all!

One little reminder I hope we can carry into future events: if you’re genuinely interested in a creation, please ask me to see it closer! I’m always happy to share the story, materials, time, and love behind my work ❤️

What I’m asking is that people, especially our little ones, don’t freely handle everything on the table without permission. Beadwork is meant to be admired, connected with, and eventually worn by one person. The pieces you see right now took me all year long to create, and some use delicate beads and/or natural materials that can be damaged by constant touching and when thrown back on my table.

I know the beauty & energy pulls you in. I feel that too! I just want that curiosity to become a conversation with the artist, rather than little hands touching every pair of earrings they see without correction. It’s been draining, I’ll admit.
I’m working on larger clearer signage and educational info for next season because I know I can’t be the only artist navigating this stress 💔

Anushiik, Thank you for sticking around and following my journey. I’m coming up on some very special milestones and projects, and I can’t wait to share them with you all - especially with our youth locally who are curious about storytelling through beadwork 💞 Moving forward I hope to have more opportunities to share with our younger generation about my art and build that understanding of beadwork importance 🥰
