Gail Welburn – Beaded Mini Tear Drop Pendant Necklace

Taanshi my name is Gail Welburn, a Métis woman, Mother and Grandmother originally from the community of Camperville. I was blessed to be raised by a family that was proud of the Métis way of life. I was taught to speak my language (Michif), respect the land we harvested from and share with others. 

During the summer I spend a lot of my time gardening, picking berries and canning. During the winter months I have always enjoyed crafting and creating gifts with my hands. I have spent the last while learning to flat bead and found I really enjoy it. I hope to build on my skills and continue to create gifts and keepsakes for my loved ones and others that celebrate their culture.
