Description

An office manager by day, Lana Manyfingers is a proud Blackfoot Cree woman who explores her artistic side in her free time — and, in a unique collaboration, is currently displaying it for the hundreds of visitors walking through a local big-box store.

Manyfingers has experience in sewing, crafting, beadwork, jewelry making, sketching and painting, while also being very much influenced of the teachings of the medicine wheel and nature and the land. She says her connections to her community led to her most recent and fascinating project designing an Indigenous-inspired room at, of all places, IKEA.

Tune in to this week’s Storytelling Podcast to hear more about how Lana Manyfingers came to work with IKEA, her creative influences, and her love of sharing her culture and creativity.
