Native
Alaskan Mabel Pike, an elder of the Tlingit clan, enjoyed doing needlework her
whole life. Eventually, she specialized in beaded moccasins, with extraordinary
results! She used traditional
designs from her Tlingit culture, and created her own patterns as well. Happy to hand down the customs of her tribe, she even taught beadwork courses
at Stanford University
You are
sure to enjoy hearing Mabel tell the story of
her talent and passion in this fascinating video by Etsy!
Mabel passed away at age 92, a year after making this video.
How wonderful for her to have left the legacy of these beautiful handcrafted moccassins!
