About the Author
Leonora Raye was bequeathed the Native American name, Little Blue Jay. She is a direct descendant of the Cherokee tribe. She began beading at the age of six and continues to this day. She has been a part of many Native American beading circles and enjoyed decades of being steeped in the Native American culture.
Many times, the Native Americans are portrayed as a conquered people, but inside the pages of this book, a part of their heritage lives on that will never be conquered. Leonora Raye, or Little Blue Jay, has preserved for us a sample of the ingenuity and deftness of her own relatives. The designs and complex stitching are revealed through her willingness to share a lifetime of being a part of Native American Beading.
