## Resource

This episode was recorded on a warm winter afternoon in 2024, at Moonstone Creation in Calgary Alberta. And amongst the company of millions of beads and Indigenous art, the Ancestral Science Podcast was excited to speak with KIM BROTHERS, Cree from Northern Alberta, about revitalizing the lost arts of quillwork, tufting, and fish scale art, the sacred ratio of brain to hide within tanning, birch bark biting, art with tails, bones, and scales, the OG beads, the difference between appreciation and appropriation, and the story of the spirit bead. Remember to tune in next week for "Smoketalk" with the pod team, where we chat more in depth about the topics from the previous episode.  YouTube link below along with lots of other educational resources and links for you to learn more! This episode was created with the support from Telus STORYHIVE Thanks to Bespoke Productions Hub and as always, Emil Starlight for the seamless editing, videography, and audio, Alex for pod support and marketing.
