Introduction

 welcome to my blog! this is where you'll learn about some indigenous Native American-made jewelry. My name is Itai Minek White. My family and I make indigenous Native American-made jewelry. I've decided to make my blog about something I am passionate about because of what I've learned in this process.  The craftsmanship and artistry of Native American-made jewelry have been passed down from generation to generation, my father taught me as will I teach my children. doing this we preserve cultural practices and techniques. It is important to pass on life lessons through art and things that inspire us as Indigenous peoples. As you read this blog I will show you step-by-step how my family and I express our culture through jewelry. It is also important that we practice our tradition together just as our ancestors did before us. Today we continue to be a source of pride and a way to celebrate and honor my heritage. As Indigenous peoples we make what we have inspired by nature around us so that we find comfort in what we wear.
