  • Iroquois Beadwork Teachers Guide
    This is an older Teacher Guide made into a PDF for our new Societies and Territories site at http://societies.learnquebec.ca Note also, the new location for the Iroquois Beadwork Kids’ Zone ! at http://blogdev.learnquebec.ca/societies/iroquois-beadwork-kids-zone/ Home Many First Nations in Québec and Canada have lonG practiced beadwork. This art has become a very real tradition for two Iroquois nations in particular, the Mohawks, who live near Montreal, and the Tuscaroras, who live on the American side of NiaGara Falls. This website and the McCord Museum exhibition that inspired it - Across Borders: Beadwork in Iroquois Life - are based mainly on the beadwork of these two nations. The photoGraphs and the imaGes of beaded objects, which are a combination of old and new, show that the art of beadwork not only has a lonG history but is still very much alive today. In order to reflect this reality, a number of objects were made especially for the Across Borders: Beadwork in Iroquois Life exhibition which was held last year at the McCord Museum and is now travelling to various locations in North America. The exhibition is orGanized and circulated by the McCord Museum, Quebec, and the Castellani Art Museum of Niagara University, NY, in collaboration with the Kanien'kehaka Raotitiohkwa Cultural Center, Kahnawake, the Tuscarora Nation community beadworkers within New York State, and the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto. This project is beinG developed by teachers and consultants in partnership with the McCord Museum and the Kanien'kehaka Raotitiohkwa Cultural Center. Iroquois Beadwork: General Overview What initiated the project? The project was initiated when Ann Cohen, pedaGoGical consultant at Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board, toured the Across Borders Iroquois Beadwork exhibition at the McCord Museum in 1999.

  • Bead Weaving on a Loom
    Bead Weaving on a Loom Objective: students will be able to describe the process of weaving and demonstrate how Native Americans and others wove beads on a loom to create long, narrow bands such as hair ties and bracelets. They will produce a patterned beaded band influenced by their visual study of Native American geometric patterns in their Web and print resources. They can discuss how the use of color, shape, and value in Native American beading has changed through the years because of the influence of other cultures. Grade Levels: Grades 5-7th Time Required: Several class periods (or use of free time) Materials: Purchased bead looms or To make a loom (see instructions below): Cardboard cut to loom pattern, craft knife, wood glue, pins 2 wide round-headed ½"screws Beading supplies; Scissors Seed or pony beads (larger beads for younger students) Linen or nylon thread Needle Bead patterns (Graph paper or online interactive bead pattern makers) Motivation: Beads have been used by many cultures, including Native American, for thousands of years. A defining moment in Native American cultures came upon their exposure to European glass beads in the seventeenth century they were ready to use, rich in color, hard and durable, and could be traded for with pelts. Native Americans became very interested in obtaining glass beads. They used the beads to decorate clothing, vessels, tools, and weapons. Seed beads adorned bags, moccasins, hair ties, and other garments. When tourist trade increased after 1900, Native Americans created beaded items especially for this market. Patterns reflected the styles of the time as well as traditional designs.

Along a Continuum: Spirally-woven Beadwork of the Tlingit, Wasco, and Pit River Peoples Paper presented at the annual conference of the Textile Society of America, Vancouver, BC, September 2018 Alice Scherer [email protected] In the late 18th- and 19th-centuries European and American explorers and traders introduced small glass beads to the indigenous populations of the Pacific Northwest, bringing new elements of sparkle, regularity, and color to their decorative arts. The glass beads also inspired new techniques and fresh expressions, among them the weaving of beads into flat and tubular shapes. Throughout the Pacific Northwest there have been examples of beads made of shell, seed, and stone whose origins predate contact with Europeans or Americans.

The Iroquois and Delaware peoples used wampum to keep records (the purple and white patterns served as memory devices) and exchanged belts of wampum to conclude treaties. Few actual wampum treaty belts have survived. In spite of the use of shell beads in wampum, decorative beadwork did not become commonplace until after European contact. In the late eighteenth century, Native American artists began to acquire European colored-glass beads, and in the nineteenth century they favored the tiny seed beads from Venice and Bohemia. Early beadwork mimicked the patterns and colors of quillwork.

  • 10 Contemporary Geometric Beadwork by Kate Mckinnon Purple Prose
    10 Contemporary Geometric Beadwork by Kate McKinnon Purple Prose Watch for purple words and phrases throughout the book, as they tell you that there is more to find on that topic. In the paper book, you will find more about highlighted terms either in the Basics section or in the Table of Contents. In the eBook, you will find that there are even more colours, and each of them are clickable, and take you to more photographs, patterns, information, galleries, or to the artist’s personal web sites or online shops, or perhaps to a bead store, magazine article, or indexed reference. We are excited to offer you these worlds within worlds and will continue to add to the online resources as new work appears and time permits. Don’t forget your sense of play and adventure as you explore our ideas. Most of our discoveries were made by happenstance, as we followed some idea down a winding lane. We are happy to be distracted by sunbeams, stray thoughts and sounds from over the hill. How else would we evolve?
