On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we thought we’d share that several of the bead-weaving techniques we teach here at The Bead Place originate from Indigenous People such as the popular Pe**te Stitch a.k.a. Gourd Stitch (pictured)! Although variations of this bead-weaving technique date back to ancient Egypt, Pe**te Stitch was actually named for its most well known and widely used traditional origin, which was its application to gourds by the Kiowa and Comanche Tribes. Beautiful Pe**te Stitch beadwork decorated gourd containers and other objects used in traditional religious ceremonies. Pe**te Stitch certainly isn’t the only popular stitch we use today with traditional indigenous roots. There are tons of beautiful beadwork techniques used even today by MANY groups of indigenous people and our shop is actually located on the land of the Kiikaapoi (Kickapoo), Kaskaskia, 𐓏𐒰𐓓𐒰𐓓𐒷 𐒼𐓂𐓊𐒻 𐓆𐒻𐒿𐒷 𐓀𐒰^𐓓𐒰^(Osage), Myaamia, O-ga-xpa Ma-zhoⁿ (O-ga-xpa), and Očhéthi Šakówiŋ people! We’ll drop some cool informational resources in the comments of our FB post if you’re curious about learning more. Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day!
