A beaded medallion is a handcrafted piece of Indigenous art created through detailed beadwork and meaningful design. Often worn or displayed, medallions can represent identity, cultural teachings, personal stories, or connection to community. Each bead and pattern are chosen with care, making every medallion unique. Beading is both an artistic practice and a way of passing down tradition, patience, and creativity across generations.
