Me and my mum went around Santa fe and supported Native Americans. We bought beautiful jewelry from them and we met a woman named Ive (pronounced Eve). She told an inspiring story on how she started learning to create pieces of jewelry. When she was younger, she would collect beads and thread them through string. She would get rocks and practice tying knots around them. They grew up poor, but she became good at making necklaces and bracelets and started to sell them at school. The money she earned would be given to her mother. Secretly, the mum saved the money Ive would give her.
