This piece was purchased by Maryjo Lemanski when it was on display at the 2021 SDHC "Art of the People" exhibit. After the exhibition, the artist converted the beading into a necklace by adding the purple, white and black beaded straps and a gold-tone magnetic closure in an example of an Indigenous artist honoring traditional techniques and creating work to suit the world they live in today.
