Genre: Sewed dolls with found fabric and dried plants: clove, sweetgrass, lavendar, sage, etc.

This Kokum Doll pattern was created while living with my grandma during her cancer treatment in Cowessess First Nation. It symbolizes my journey of reconnecting with my roots, using the sewing tools, quilting squares and guidance she gifted me. Infused with medicinal herbs like sweetgrass and yarrow, the doll embodies our shared experiences and lessons.
