Photo: stunning beadwork by Toronto-based Indigenous artist Katie Longboat created for the April 2021 issue featuring Buffy Sainte-Marie. Originally from Six Nations of the Grand River, Katie’s beadwork style incorporates inspirations from the natural world, her travels, her family, and uses contemporary materials to create one of a kind jewellery pieces and art works. Katie is also inspired to create beadwork that is reflective of her family and identity and draws inspiration from both Cree and Haudenosaunee styles of beadwork. See the Chatelaine cover beadwork below and more of Katie’s work on Instagram.
This collection of articles from the brands of SJC Media will be updated throughout the month of June: National Indigenous History Month.
