Collection: Wozeks Ikeitawn - Wozek Chandler

Tribe: Aaniiih (White Clay)

Wozek’s Ikeitawn- Naniisʔíitʔɔ Wozek Chandler. Ninaanɔɔʔ ʔɔʔɔɔɔniinénɔh, I am a part of the White Clay People in Fort Belknap, Montana. My business name “Wozek’s Ikeitawn”, pronounced Wo-tsik’s Ih-kei- dawn, means Wozek’s Earrings in the Aaniiih language. My mother taught me how to bead in the 3 rd grade, and I continued to make accessories from then on. In the 8 th grade (2011), I began selling my beadwork to family and friends. It was always something I did for fun— drawing inspiration from life experiences, loved ones, and my cultural lifeways.
