Native American beadwork.
Native American beadwork is a vibrant, historically rich art form, utilizing materials like glass beads, shells, and buckskin to create intricate designs on clothing, moccasins, and regalia. Ranging from geometric Plains styles to floral Woodland patterns, it reflects cultural identity and storytelling. Popular techniques include peyote stitch, lane stitching, and loomed work. Traditionally, beads were made from shells, turquoise, bone, horn, porcupine quills copper, and plant-based dyes. Following European contact, glass seed beads became prominent.
