Her Indigenous jewellery designs aim to inspire a connection with the land, culture, and oneself.\nSheena is Southern Tutchone, Tlingit, and Scottish decent. She belongs to the Kwanlin Dun First Nations in the Yukon, yet was raised on Vancouver Island. Her mother was adopted by a Cree family, so she has a strong connection with the cultural teachings and ceremonies. Recently, she connected with her biological family where she discovered that she comes from a long line of matriarchs and belongs to the Wolf clan.\nCreating Indigenous jewellery designs has become an outlet for her creative expression, which helps ground and center her. Finding herself has been the most rewarding part of the process. <a href='https:\/\/firstnations.biz\/202606\/businesses\/canada\/british-columbia\/cowichan-bay\/a-feather-and-a-stone-jewellery-design\/#post_content' class='gd-read-more  gd-read-more-fade w-100 position-absolute text-center pt-5' style='bottom:0;left:0;background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom,transparent,#fff);'>Read more\u2026<\/a><\/div><\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"loop-item\" data-elementor-id=\"3702\" class=\"elementor elementor-3702 swiper-slide e-loop-item e-loop-item-4010 post-4010 gd_place type-gd_place status-publish has-post-thumbnail hentry gd_place_tags-indigenous gd_place_tags-indigenous-owned gd_placecategory-women-entrepreneurs gd_placecategory-uncategorized-1 gd-post-pkg-1 entry has-media\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" data-custom-edit-handle=\"1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2ace5ff elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2ace5ff\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3ec1548\" data-id=\"3ec1548\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2c8ef3b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2c8ef3b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/firstnations.biz\/202606\/businesses\/canada\/british-columbia\/bella-coola\/nunanaalhm-tours\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/firstnations.biz\/202606\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Blue-and-Red-Bear-Jade-Hanuse-2023-300x180.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4bcb0a5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-wp-widget-gd_post_title\" data-id=\"4bcb0a5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"wp-widget-gd_post_title.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='geodir-post-title bsui sdel-1e1510fe' ><h2 class=\"geodir-entry-title  h5 text-truncate ellipsis\"><a href=\"https:\/\/firstnations.biz\/202606\/businesses\/canada\/british-columbia\/bella-coola\/nunanaalhm-tours\/\" class=\"\" title=\"View: Nunanaalhm Tours\">Nunanaalhm Tours<\/a><\/h2><\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4301c38 elementor-widget elementor-widget-wp-widget-gd_post_content\" data-id=\"4301c38\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"wp-widget-gd_post_content.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='geodir-post-content-container bsui sdel-7fe0ad99' ><div class=\"geodir_post_meta  clear-both   position-relative geodir-field-post_content\"  style='max-height:120px;overflow:hidden;' >Nunanaalhm Tours is the only women owned tourism company providing captivating indigenous and historical tours in the breathtaking Bella Coola valley\nImmerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage and natural wonders of this awe-inspiring region as a knowledgeable local guide shares captivating stories and insights.
