Marshall said doing beadwork grounds her and she is excited for the items to be featured in a public forum. "It's kind of like like plates of food, but to acknowledge our traditional life ways of eating, eating the animals and honouring them for the gifts that they have." Marshall said she originally got into beading through her family. At one point, she was unemployed and used her work to support herself.
