Description

Tuesday, December 12th, through Thursday, December 14th, 2023, Cultural Demonstrator Amelia White will be sharing her vision and culture at the Grand Canyon Visitor Center from 10am to 4pm.

Amelia has been doing beadwork for over 10 years. She first started applying beadwork to moccasins and then expanded to hats and pouches. Initially learning from her mother, Amelia took inspiration from her culture and wanted to bring it to life through her eyes. The fine beadwork on moccasins, pouches, and hats is a true testament of her mastering her craft.
 

  • The Cultural Demonstration program provides an opportunity for park visitors and community members to interact with tribal artisans from Grand Canyon's traditionally associated tribes - and for them to share their history and crafts, along with the skills, knowledge, and efforts involved in creating their handicrafts. 
     
  • This series is made possible with grants from Grand Canyon Conservancy.
