DETAILS
Simple and elegant, these beautiful all white beaded earrings are a reimagining of our classic freshwater pearl studs, designed in honor of the significance of the Head Lady in many indigenous pow-wows.
"If you are not familiar with pow-wows, then you are probably wondering what in the world does ‘Head Lady’ mean? Well, with many indigenous pow-wows in the US, there is a Female Head dancer (Head Lady) and a Male Head dancer. These two dancers lead all group dances during the pow-wow. The Head Dancers are equal, both always dancing side by side. It is a residual piece of the matriarchy my people followed prior to colonialism. In honor of women's history, I intentionally combined the women's suffrage symbol (white) with the name Head Lady.
Now bearing witness to the appointment of Deb Haaland as the first Native American to serve in a cabinet position, I confidently believe that the matriarchy is flourishing. So wear these earrings with pride, poise, and attitude; and carry the spirit of a Head Lady.
With love,
Brittany Turner”
