In this podcast we talk with Lori Lambert, member of the Nulhegan Abenaki Tribe with Dee Brightstar (Abenaki) as co-host.

Maybe we could title our conversation..Staying Connected With One's Nation Thru Beadwork

"Lori is a scriptwriter, photographer, writer, and researcher. In her spare tine she follows her passion of beading. She has been beading for over 20 years. She learned her craft from the elders on the Flathead Indian Reservation, especially Rachel Bowers and Edna Finley, and from the great granddaughter of Wooden Legs, a Cheyenne Warrior.
She believes that anyone can learn to bead and that anything can be beaded. It takes patience, and a good sense of what the colors can express. She says, “It is important to have a peaceful heart and calm mind otherwise the work will have bad karma.”

In addition to beading, Lori loves doing research, writing, traveling, and hosting television programs for KSKC-TV. She lives on the Flathead Indian Reservation in western Montana with her husband, Dr. Frank Tyro and their band of sled dogs.

I have written and published six books. They are all on amazon.com. My latest book is entitled “Research for Indigenous Survival: Indigenous research methodologies in the behavioral sciences.
Over the years I have learned that art is writing, bead working, powwow dancing, and scriptwriting and doesn’t necessarily have to be shown in a museum or a theater. " from www.abenakiart.org
