Amskuuyan (Beaver Fur) Brooch – Beaded Feather & Hematite Arrowhead

This stunning handcrafted brooch brings together traditional materials and contemporary design, featuring soft Amskuuyan (beaver fur), a tanned moosehide backing, and a beautifully beaded feather motif created with high-quality Miyuki beads. The beadwork blends teal, gold, and red tones, flowing into a genuine hematite arrowhead—a symbolic and grounding element sourced from Eeyou Istchee.

A luminous round stone anchors the top of the piece, adding subtle iridescence and balance. Lightweight yet richly textured, this brooch honours Cree craftsmanship through its thoughtful materials and careful hand-finishing.

• Genuine Amskuuyan (beaver fur) with natural texture

• Backed with tanned moosehide

• Hand-stitched Miyuki bead feather motif

• Hematite arrowhead sourced from Eeyou Istchee

Special note from Beth:
Each brooch reflects traditional teachings, respect for the land, and the artist’s deep connection to the materials of Eeyou Istchee.
