Not everything you carry can be seen.
Some things move beneath the surface.
Quiet, constant, and deeply rooted.
In Abenaki understanding, niwaskw speaks to spirit.
Not as something separate, but as something within.
A presence that connects, guides, and gives life meaning.
This collection is built around that idea.
Each piece holding a different expression of energy, movement, and balance.
Each one shaped with intention, not just design.
What you wear becomes part of what you carry.
And some things are meant to stay with you.

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.
