Summer's Promise (Alisa Blake)

Inspired by the first wildflowers to emerge during the northern summer, Summer's Promise celebrates renewal, growth, and the beauty found on the land. Handcrafted on home-tanned smoked moose hide, the floral design is brought to life through hand-tufted dyed caribou hair and carefully hand-sewn beadwork. Reflecting the vibrant colors of the North in bloom, this piece honors Indigenous artistry, land-based knowledge, and the enduring connection between people and place.
