"I made two of these dressed based on the one that my qene? (dad’s mother), Mildred (Nick) Pierre, made for me. One was for my goddaughter Lania Thompson, and I made a second one with the extra fabric I had and gave this to the Burke Qene? Was renowned for her beadwork and for playing stickgame and was an anchor for our family."
Annette Pierre, Qlispe
