My name is Iakorihwató:ken Hemlock. I am Mohawk, Turtle Clan and I grew up in Kahnawà:ke Mohawk Territory. These days I reside at Ganödase:’ Seneca Nation Territory.

I am the artist behind Hemlock Beads. I have been doing beadwork for approximately 10 years, and have always loved crafting and expressing myself in multiple ways creatively. It’s very exciting to be creating and sharing my art on this new platform. I hope you all enjoy.

Niá:wen (thank you) for visiting.
