I was just searching the net for pony beads and I don't know where I read
it, but it said that pony beads were used by Indians and Early settlers.
The name came from them being delivered to the settlers by the Pony Express.

Joyce,
This Pow Wow has been held in the state of CT for years.
I thought I recall you telling me after you attended this state convention
that when you inquired about the availability of classes the person from
Foxwoods told you that they don't teach weaving or beading outside their
Native American tribe or lineage. At least that's what you told me they said
or am I wrong?

Dixie,
What Pow Wow are you talking about? Was that here in CT?
I know that at one of the CT NFB state conventions they had a person from
the Foxwood tribe there and they had talked about blind natives learning
the
Indian bead work. I think they said something about having a meeting
place for beading in Rhode Island.
I wonder how we can find out more about that? This convention was going
back several years ago.

Um, let's see.
A pony beads about 3/8 inch in diameter as well as height. They have a
1/4 inch hole, so they are easy to string onto fabric and cords, and
things
with some thickness to it. I have only worked with the plastic ones,
but,
do know that there are ceramic ones that I have seen in pieces at the
native
American Pow Wow that I have been to. Hmmmm, come to think of it, I
don't
know if they are stilled called pony beads then? Anyone know?

Dixie, can you describe what shape a pony bead is? They are larger
beads
and have a big enough hole in them and that is why Girl Scouts use them a
lot.
