The Concordian: Beading as an Art Form: Land Activism, Cultural History and Resurgence
By Camila Caridad Rivas
Embroidery has always been an important part of Indigenous culture, especially with its prevalence on personal items.

According to Mohawk artist, Destiny Thomas, beadwork holds a special meaning and is much more than a beautiful form of art to her. “Beads, for me, hold a therapeutic property that I feel could be implemented in today’s therapy,” Thomas said. “It’s culturally relevant to Indigenous peoples. It creates an open and understanding space to discuss topics like personal hardships and identity issues.’’
