The dark liquid is coffee water. The tea holder has linen thread and waxed Linen thread inside, being test dyed. If all goes well; we will have found a good color match for this exhibit belt repair.

Shared some techniques of wampum belt repair with Kerri. Did we tell you Kerri came on board as a Native Interpretive guide, 2017. This woman is something! She jumps in (carefully) with what ever task/job/event presented to her! Whoa. Kerri is Mohawk. Her grandfather was Alex "the Bear" Terrance, son of Margaret,Orakwino, (Lazore) and George Terrance.

Bird snare to be...

Even though we're closed we're still creating. This belt will go on display in our New Exhibit. It's being created by Eli Carr, Mohawk Snip clan and Tonia Galban Mohawk Bear clan.
