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.
