Welcome to Starr Merrie
Yawʌˀkó· (thank you) for stopping by! My name is Eliza Skenandore, and I’m an Oneida artist and cultural advocate. I love celebrating Haudenosaunee artistry, empowering Indigenous creators, and preserving our cultural knowledge for future generations.
Through this blog, I hope to share: 🌾 Stories behind my beadwork and its connection to Oneida culture 🎨 Work-in-progress shots and final creations 🌟 Events, workshops, and markets where you can connect with me in person 🪶 Insights about Haudenosaunee traditions, food systems, and more
My journey as an artist is deeply rooted in tradition and storytelling. Every piece I create tells a story—from strawberries representing our creation story to corn symbolizing sustenance and community.
Follow along to learn, connect, and celebrate the beauty of Indigenous art and culture!
