Be Heard Beadwork
Gwe’! I’m Marsha, the bead artist behind Be Heard Beadwork.
I’m a Mi’gmaw from Listuguj in the traditional territory of Mi’gma’gi. I started learning how to bead from my family members as a child. Growing up in the Mi’gmaw language within Listuguj was a place of comfort. It helped me appreciate the different voices, messages and lessons in my ancestral language. This knowledge was often passed on to me while spending time with my family members. This happened organically as they worked on their own beading and sewing projects.
Through beading, I have been able to meet and connect with an incredible community of Indigenous bead artists. I continue to learn and be inspired by them every day! I reflect this knowledge into each beaded product that I design. As you will see throughout my shop, each piece is carefully created with good energy, focus and respect for Netukulimk.
Thank you for visiting my shop. I hope you find a piece that speaks to you, makes you smile and adds flair to your style.
Wela’lioq!
