The work has an interesting story. We found an old work, so old that even the color was not visible. We decided to restore it. This is how it came out. Almost all  symbols of our northern Koryakia are depicted in this creation. Yurt is the original dwelling of the nomadic Chukchi and Koryak People who live in the northern villages of Koryakia. Volcanoes and a colorful rainbow are direct phenomena of the nature of our Koryakia.

The name of the Piebald Horde is not entirely clear. In different dialects of the Selkup language PEӶ - elk, PEӃӃ - elk, OR or ORFUL - strong, ORFUL ӃUP - strong man, hero. The name PEGAYA HORDE can be translated as a strong people or heroes of the sacred elk. The piebald horde was formed in the conditions of constant wars. The Selkup leaders fought against the Khanty, Evenks, Kets, and Tatars. The piebald horde was a system of petty Selkup leaders. Through this work, I display the name of our multinational people (Selkups, Khanty, Mansi, Evenks, Chulyms) who live in the Tomsk region.

My work explains that the Selkups are taiga People whose main traditional occupation is fishing and hunting. The ornament in the work represents the fish of the Ob' River. From spring to late autumn, the Selkups are engaged in fishing. Traditionally, the Selkups settled near rivers, and in winter they went to the taiga, where they mainly hunted fur-bearing animals, upland game, elk, and other animals.

This work displays my Indigenous culture in general and the bottom strip at the bottom of this design is a separate connected part of this work that shows my distinct Meskwaki culture.  I feel like that is how all Indigenous People are, while we are all the same, there are parts of our tribe’s culture that remain unique and define who we are.

I used size 13 beads to make my art, and because these beads are small, I was able to create more detail in my work.
