The beautiful Angie and her Vadzaih (Caribou) Hide Fringe earrings made with Vintage Trade Beads & Dinvi' (Silverberry Seeds)....Hài Choo -Thank you, Ange for the share! 😊 I made a series of earrings in this style that was not an easy task! I plan on making a variety of Dinvi', A'tthan' and Hide earring sets the next little bit..stay tuned. #shinliniintaih #teetłit #Gwichin #Vadzaih #Caribou #Dinvi #Silverberry #Wolfwillow #Medicine #Indigenous #Handmade

A beautiful photo share from Ontario! Hài Choo - Thank you. Jennifer is wearing her *new* beaded hat made by Shinli' Niintaih collective member Marilyn Colin! I am always happy to see where Shinli' Niintaih creations go 😊 ... #shinliniintaih #Gwichin #beadwork

A share with Shinli' Niintaih that makes me so proud! Here is a photo of Gwich'in leaders Bernadette (L) and Cheryl (R), who is wearing her custom necklace made of vintage trade beads, A'tthan' (Dentalium Shell) and Dinvi' (Silverberry Seed Bead) & Sterling Silver chain. Leaders like Bernadette and Cheryl traveled from Alaska and Canada to Washington, DC to advocate for the permanent protection of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) located in Northeast Alaska from oil development, as they have done for many decades. Gwich'in leaders & community members work tirelessly to advocate protection of this area because it is the sacred calving grounds of the Porcupine Caribou Herd, vital lifeline of our people and of our cultural & spiritual connection as Indigenous peoples in the Arctic. So happy Shinli' Niintaih creations are being repped within this important work and bringing strength to Gwich'in who travel far! Hài Choo - Thank you to all our Gwich'in leaders for the work that you do 🙌💗 📸 : Bernadette Demientieff /FB Post #Gwichin #Vadzaih #Dinjiichit #caribou #anwr #ArcticRefuge #alaska #shinliniintaih #Indigenous #dentalium #atthan #Silverberry #Dinvi #handmade #jewelery
