Beadwork has a long and enduring tradition among the Kanien’kehaka (Mohawk) from Kahnawake, Quebec, Canada. This barrette was created by Allison Tewesa McGregor, who learned to bead when she was eight years old, a tradition that is taught to children at Kahnawake as an after-school activity beginning at age six. A Mohawk creation story relates that Turtle carried the world on her back.
