Alberta Sunrise
Embroidery, 2021
My Grandma Alberta was tall, lean, and warm hearted. She passed away from cancer when she was only 48. I was her first grandchild and even though she was poor, I was extraordinarily spoiled by her. When she knew she was dying, she asked that her grandchildren be given our Indian names, and specifically, that I be given her Indian name. Our shared name is “Woman That Walks at Night”. When I was very little, she beaded me a necklace using these bright colors. I still remember the cool feel of the beaded rope in my fingers.
