Handmade Beaded Earrings

$40

Handmade beaded earrings made by Cheeyaka & Co.

A little about Cheeyaka:

My English name is Tiffany, my nlaka'pamuxcheen name is Cheeyaka. Cheeyaka was my grandmother (or ya-ya) name on my fathers side. In English it translates to a helping hand. I am a member of the Lytton First Nation which is in the heart of the Nlaka'pamux territory where the Thompson and Fraser rivers meet. I've been a guest on the Coas Salish territory on and off for about 6 years now.

What inspires Cheeyaka to bead:

My grandma Robyn taught me how to bead when I was a young girl. Her and I would make seed bead fringe earrings to match each one of my fancy shawl regalias.

I also feel inspired by my yaya CheeyAka who was a talented artist. She would create beautiful cedar root baskets that she would make to support our family. I hope one day to own one of her beautiful creations.

I also feel inspired to use my beading as a way to highlight teachings from our people. Whether it be our nlaka'pamuxcheen language or social justice lessons and resources my fellow educators can use in their classrooms.

Made with Japanese Delica beads, just under 3 inches long. The hooks are sterling silver. The colors of these earrings were inspired by the White Caps 2021 new jerseys.

" I am a Haida mother of a Hope and Health participant. Hope and Health showed us that soccer was fun and can be done in a meaningful and thoughtful way. The least I could do was offer a pair of earrings to show my gratitude."
