Led by the incredible Laura Asham, the evening was filled with creativity, connection, and culture alongside amazing participants like Disa Crowchief, Kaylei Crosschild, and Jordynn Wadworth-Smith.
A huge thank you to Tyra and Jacie for bringing this gathering together—it wouldn’t have been possible without you.
Laura Asham Shared : “I’ve been beading since I was seven years old. I started doing tack down what I’m showing the ladies, I was taught by my mom the late Donna Calf, and I’ve been beading ever since, and I’ve been showing a lot of youth throughout the years and I really enjoyed showing my skill and what I’ve been taught and my gift, because I think that’s a gift. Thank you.”
Tyra Crosschild Shared : “what I liked about today is that this is our first hangout of the of the summer. IRT7 is back and running, so I’m really excited to have a beading hang out as our first one. I’m excited for regular programming to start. We are hoping to have one professional development day and one hangout a month so if anyone’s interested, you can contact me.”
