A little about myself. I am "Nyudindon" translation: Hanging Lake,
nation: Cayuga,
clan: Turtle
From the Six Nations of the Grand River in Ontario Canada. I have been making crafts since I was a child, only in recent years have I revived it within myself. Working with bone, beads, leather, wood and soapstone.
I have moved home, back to the land of my
childhood, after living out west to expand my horizons. Guess you could
say, I lived half my life away from home. Now it was time to go back.
and be with family again. They said it was ok to come home now. They said they were sorry, so I said ok. :) jk.
This site officially online Sept 28, 2007
I have opened up my own website to make it easier for the world to see the items I make, using beads, bones, soapstone, leather and so forth. As I am a busy person, I do all of this myself, no others assisting me, so it takes time to update the website. I will add more of my crafts as I do them. I have also done eagle staffs (coup sticks). These would have to be picked up in person as they are so long, difficult to ship.
Along the way I will probably include items made by friends to assist them in their expansion into the world wide web. any questions please send them to my mail box click the link.
"Eagle Talon Necklace"
In native Circles, we have a high respect for the Eagle. It is because of their power, strength, vision and size. The Eagle is able to travel to great heights, and its vision is superior to see prey from a far off distance.
An Eagle dance is performed in ceremonies to honour this magnificient bird. Because the Eagle is on the endangered species list, we have produced a replica of its Talon with cow bone (bleached or antiqued) and or buffalo horn. These necklaces are constructed with deer hide (approximately 36" long) and solid nickel or brass metal beads.

PRAYER FANS Native Americans believed that feathers were gifts from
the Creator. Eagles were regarded as the highest spirit animal on earth
and feathers were used to carry prayers to the Creator. They were
decorated with stones, beads, and sometimes bones. Each Indian had
their own power symbol for their prayer feathers.
Fans can be used when smudging to help keep the ember burning.
Women dancers would carry a fan with their regalia.
These fans are made with spruce or pinewood, deer hide, and replica
eagle feathers. (Turkey, either painted with black tips or left white).
