Beads and Beading the Native American Way.......
| Posted on May 25, 2014 at 9:11 AM |
 Ghost bead necklaces created by the Navajos represent the connection between humans and nature.Ghost beads are actually dried juniper berries. The dried berries are
strung together with beads to create what is called a ghost necklace. Ghost bead necklaces
are believed to ward off evil spirits and negative energy, as well
as protect the wearer bringing peace and protection.  Juniper berries were known to the Shoshone Indians
as "Sammapo." Washo Indians: "Paal." Paiute Indians: "Wapi." For rheumatism,
the Native Americans put the green boughs of Juniper on the patient
as he reclined, then they steamed the boughs and the patient drank
tea from the leaves. They also used a tea from juniper berries, taken
on 3 successive days, a cupful at a time, for birth control. Navajo often used them to treat illnesses such as diabetes. In addition to wearing juniper berry necklaces, the Navajos also
smeared juniper ashes on their skin prior to venturing out in the dark, as they believed this would keep
the spirits happy should they enter any ruins. In the home they sprinkled juniper ashes around
the bed was thought to provide extra protection. Another popular beading style uses the Peyote Stitch also known as the Gourd Stitch using Seed Beads. Free form peyote stitching can be used to create beaded designs on many things ranging from handles, jewellery and intricate
colourful designs on clothes, belts, medicine bags, pouches,the list is endless.
Pretty much any surface that can be stitched to can carry the amazing tiny seed bead designs and with stringing techniques the beads are cleverly used to make bead lace as shown in the keyring above. Check out the Nizhoni range here. |

amway case study help
9:41 AM on October 14, 2020
It is seen that two-thirds of students look for amway case study help from reputed service providers. There is a good demand for this service as students struggle to cope with the troubles of writing the papers.
The students only need to say “please write my case study", and the service providers are ready to help on all required subjects and all topics. The papers meet the student's requirements accurately, and this helps them to score the best grades.
However, there are some students who are always keen to write their papers, and so they ask how to write a case study. This is in a way good because it helps togain knowledge and confidence for further writing. You can get case study assignment sample from myassignmenthelp.
