Seed beads and other types of beads have significant cultural meaning for many Native American tribes. Beadwork is a sacred tradition that represents the resilience, creativity, and spirit of Native American people. It's a way to convey cultural values, tell stories, and express important concepts. For example, beadwork can represent the four cardinal directions, the balance between the physical and spiritual worlds, or cultural identity.
