Tansi!
I’m Jennifer Anderson, but most people know me as squeed(my cree name) my first language is cree. I am originally from the Gift Lake Metis settlement, born and raised. I now reside in Edmonton, AB.
My parents have always taught me to value my culture and introduced me to God. The cree language was instilled in me as a child, I am internally grateful for my parents for speaking to me in my language. I am married and have 2 beautiful daughters. As I was growing into a young adult I was always into crafts more so, the indigenous culture, as the beauty of every part of that culture speaks to you. I took a mukluk class in 2012 and haven’t stopped creating since and that’s where my journey began.
Every piece that I create is an art, one bead at a time! And every piece is created with good vibes cause I believe that when you create something it should be done on good vibes because people will feel the energy off of your creations.
