Lakota Goodwill Designs

Hi there! My name is Lakota Morin-Goodwill, and I’m a Lakota, Dakota, and Cree artist based in Treaty 6 Territory (Edmonton, Alberta) and a proud member of Enoch Cree Nation. At 26, I balance my life as a student and small business owner with a lifelong passion for Indigenous craft, a journey that is deeply rooted in family & who I am as an indigenous woman.My craft is rooted in modern aesthetics as I aim to create jewelry for everyday wear. My collections range from intricate, unique beaded accessories to simple, delicate shell jewelry. I create a range of items such as; earrings, bracelets, necklaces as well as purse charms.I am forever evolving my style as a beader, and finding new styles that reflect me plays a huge part of how I represent myself through my work. You can often find me at markets and events around the Edmonton area, as well as a few powwows as I aim to expand my work with my community. To stay updated with my journey and where I’ll be next, please follow me on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook to witness my growth as a bead worker. Thank you, and Hiyhiy ♡

Kirsten Calahoo

I am an Indigenous artist from the Enoch Cree Nation specializing in traditional fine arts, including beadwork, hand-painted parfleche regalia, ledger art, and buffalo-hide painting. My lifelong passion was sparked in grade one when my artwork was exhibited at the Edmonton Art Gallery, and today my work remains deeply inspired by nature, Cree culture, and traditional teachings shared within my community. Over the past six years, I have expanded my practice into public art and commissions, officially launching my business two years ago. As I prepare to launch my official website and pursue arts grants, my journey remains focused on honouring my heritage while stepping confidently into the future. Through every line of paint and carefully placed bead, I celebrate Cree culture, connect with community, and carry forward a vibrant cultural legacy.

Valentine Calahoo-Morin

Hello, my name is Valentine Calahoo-Morin. I’m an artist from Enoch Cree Nation and I work with multiple different art forms, I know how to bead, and I love to paint and draw. I’ve always loved art and enjoyed how it was a creativity outlet and how much emotion and love goes into it.

Currently my favourite thing to do is “negative space” art. I will always try different things and art forms; I love to be creative and encourage others to do the same.

Rhay-Lyn Arcand

Tansi, my name is Rhay-Lyn Arcand. I'm an indigenous artisan who dabbles in various mediums. Traditionally, I ventured down the road of painting on canvas and sketching designs. Lately however, my medium of choice has been beading.

I use art to help me on my healing journey, since I've unfortunately been in and out of the hospital. Left to deal with a chronic illness that leaves me bedridden most days. So when I discovered beading, it quickly became my outlet to bypass the time, as well as to keep my mind and spirit at ease. ♡

Patsy Arcand

Tanisi... I am Patsy Arcand from Enoch Cree nation. I have used my art as a stepping stone in my healing journey 12 years ago. Discovering beading and sewing has helped me become more connected to my ancestors.

Marion Bird

My name is Marion Bird. I’m from Enoch, Alberta, and I have two kids for whom I will learn to do anything. I started my sewing journey when I was 14, but I found my own style when I was 20. My kids are my biggest influences. I learned how to do powwow regalia for my daughter, and I am currently learning how to do feather work for my son. They’re my inspiration and motivation to create the things I do.

Family Creations

Tânsi, I am Tammy Ward, my Ninâpem Gordon Ward, my Daughter and youngest Son are the self taught creator’s of these works and we are Family Creations.

We create Key Chains, Necklaces, Chokers, Earrings, Bracelets, Breastplates and now learning how to make Leather Belts. We work with various Bones, Hides, Horse Hair mixed in with Wooden, Glass, Metal, Crystal and Swarovski Beads. We enjoy sharing the lessons we learned from our various creations and teach our extended relations to make a custom piece for themselves.

As a family we continue to attend markets and meet other creators and works. We have the hope to one day teach many others on how to start their own journey of Beading.

Hello! My name is Shayna and I am from Enoch Cree Nation. I am a wife, and a mother. Sometimes I sew, and other times I like to bead. Nitanîs is my muse when it comes channeling my creative endeavours.
