Hello all, my name is Sequoia Yellowhair; I am 27 years old and a proud member of Pasqua First Nation, but I currently reside in Regina. I am enrolled in my third year of Indigenous Social Work through the First Nations University of Canada. I originally learned the craft of Indigenous beadwork through my mother, an Indian Residential School Survivor-Thriver! At age two, I would sit in front of my mom and string bigger beads on a piece of yarn for hours on end in front of my mom while she would bead. As I grew, my mom would teach me how to do different projects, and from there, I was encouraged to continue with my own style and ideas. Beading has become a form of therapy and meditation, and I will often embrace good thoughts and feelings throughout my projects; that is what I love about watching my projects come to life!
