Whether it’s traditional ways language or cultural crafts teaching youth is my passion and an accomplishment. As a featured weaver in the northwest Native American Basket Weavers Association, teaching the youth is so enjoyable and makes me feel passionate about the crafts I teach. Working at culture and heritage as a numu apprentice, passing on the language to the younger generation has been a goal. Hope to achieve in the near future with the community.

I was gifted some jingles for my daughter, she is Ojibwe, but I am not Native. Are there any cultural prohibitions or guidelines that say who should make my daughter a jingle dress? Can I, not Native, make my daughter a jingle dress for Native gatherings?
