About

Lor Brand is a Métis beadworker from Winnipeg, MB in Treaty 1 territory whose family comes from Richer, MB. She learned two-needle beading with the help of many Métis beadworkers and have been practicing ever since. Lor believes that wearing bead-adorned Métis clothing is a powerful way to take up space. They now work to help other Métis folks across Turtle Island repatriate through craft and connect non-Indigenous folks to Indigenous culture by teaching workshops and selling beadwork. Beadwork is Lor’s way of continuing her ancestor’s legacies and working towards a brighter future for Indigenous peoples.
