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.
