How do these actions affect or influence our youth and young adults. How can we do better moving forward? or are we just stuck in a world that feeds off of drama and lies? </div><div><br /></div><div>We need to talk more about our ethical obligations to be truthful, helpful, positive, and to disclose if/when you do not have the facts.</div><div><br /></div><div>This video was a powerful one. We share a lot of information and education, we hit to the core of hard issues, but we also laugh - because we want to show how much fun and wonderful support and allyship can look like.</div><div><br />

It's always a pleasure to work with Sean - he's got this nice and easy-going positive energy, always down to create an exclusive design with us and partner up with projects. <span></span><a href="http://www.beyondbuckskin.com/2021/02/artist-feature-vosq-co.html#more">Read more »</a>Dr. Jessica R.

We hope that some of these items inspire you to Buy Native this season and support some pretty amazing artists. Beyond Buckskin works with dozens of artists to promote and sell their work through our online Boutique and physical retail store located on the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation in Belcourt, ND. We also promote Native artists and entrepreneurs through our <a href="http://www.beyondbuckskin.com/p/buy-native.html">BUY NATIVE</a> list. Even if you're on a tight budget this year, please consider sharing this guide with your networks.<br>

We've had so much fun putting each box together!<br>
<br>
For this month, I wanted to offer up a case study of inspiration. There is this magnificent old jingle dress, made by Mary Bigwind from White Earth over 80 years ago, stuck in my mind. It was a simple sleeveless dress, with less than 5 rows of tin cone jingles on black velvet. It’s so chic and elegant, but also, you can feel the healing power vibrating out of the image.<br>

It is striking.<br>
<br>
The necklace is fully beaded and is a collaboration piece done with Tyra Jerome. It is based on the floral beadwork of our People, the Anishinaabe, the original people, the Human Beings. The old folks say that beadwork patterns tell stories, and the placement of the flowers next to one another could reference a certain location where those plants grow, or even a medicinal recipe. Colors also confer ideas of serenity, strength, or rebirth.<br>

I'm sitting here, in our Beyond Buckskin booth, typing this post, in between meeting and greeting new and old friends. I love this particular conference because it draws leaders from this region into one space that is simultaneously big, but also intimate. It is a great chance to meet up with the people who are - to put it frankly - leaders. They are leading programs, initiatives, policies, and businesses focused on health, cultural consulting, economic development, media, education, and more.<br>

<br>
She is Ojibwe, Cree, and Metis, and I met her a year ago in Portland. She was playing with the idea of launching her own business, and we are so glad she did!<br>
<br>
We sat down with her to chat a bit more about how she got started, <b>and what inspires her the most.</b><br>
