” This year, my husband and I had the incredible opportunity to establish our own business called Bears Essence. Coming from the Enoch Cree nation and the Samson Cree nation respectively, our business is proudly based in the treaty six territories. At Bears Essence, we specialize in crafting exquisite jewelry using traditional Indigenous materials such as dentalium shells, Animal hide, Mother of Pearl heart shell, and crystal stones. Our unique designs blend traditional Indigenous craftsmanship with modern aesthetics, creating stunning and one of a kind pieces. Bears Essence was born out of our deep desire to honor and celebrate our Indigenous heritage, traditions, and the unparalleled craftsmanship that is embedded within them. Through our jewelry designs, we aim to showcase the beauty of Indigenous culture and traditions.”
