Hi, my name is Madeline Oker, and I am from Doig River First Nations in Northeastern BC.
I am from the Muskeg People of Chinchaga. I come from a long line of sewers. I was taught traditional crafts from my Grandma Alice Moccasin who died in 1989, and from other elders Sally Makadahay and Annie Oker. All my past time is spent on sewing and creating beautiful things for people. I like to create the old style bead work and styles of the ts’ibe wadane.
