Abstract

The traditional technology of Indigenous beadwork is a longstanding art form with deep historical ties to many Indigenous communities in Canada. The ongoing practice of Indigenous beadwork has been reclaimed by artists nationwide to connect to their traditional heritage. This paper dives deeper into the cultural impacts of Indigenous beadwork and how I have worked toward reclaiming my Métis heritage through beadwork. The entirety of my Capstone Project – a requirement for a Master of Education program in Curriculum Studies at the University of Saskatchewan – is analyzed in comparison to the literature regarding traditional Indigenous beadwork and cultural identity.
