About The Artwork
This floral design from Crow Tribe beadwork traditions, reflects the deep cultural connection between the Apsáalooke people and the natural beauty of their Montana homelands. The bold red and yellow flowers, often seen in traditional regalia and adornment, symbolize the vibrant wildflowers that bloom across the plains and foothills of the region.
These patterns not only honor the land’s natural abundance but also represent life and the sacred relationship between the Crow people and land.
For the Crow people, floral patterns are more than decoration. They are a language of memory, identity, and spirituality. Flowers in beadwork often symbolize beauty, growth, renewal, and the interconnectedness of all life.
