In Abenaki understanding, alakws speaks to the star.
A source of light, direction, and presence.
Something that remains constant, even when everything else shifts.
The floral form reflects that balance.
Each point extending outward, held together by a steady center.
A reminder that movement and grounding can exist at the same time.
Cool tones carry calm, clarity, and reflection.
They mirror the quiet strength of something that doesn’t need to demand attention to be felt.
The center holds the piece together.
A point of return.
A place of stillness within motion.
Alakws Bloom carries the energy of guidance, clarity, and quiet direction.

Store Owner & Product Creator
Spirit Beads is an Abenaki-owned small business based in Northern Ontario, Canada. As a proud member of the Odanak Nation, I carry forward the teachings and artistry of my people through beadwork, moccasins, and mukluks.
Each piece I create blends traditional techniques with contemporary designs, honoring the roots of our culture while allowing it to evolve in the modern world. My beadwork is crafted with care, authenticity, and a deep respect for my ancestors, reflecting both cultural preservation and personal passion.
At Spirit Beads, the goal is to share the beauty, strength, and spirit of Indigenous artistry with people everywhere; ensuring that these traditions continue to thrive for future generations.
