My parents are Albert and Mary Thomas. I was born out on the land in the winter where my parents were living, on the Black River Trapline.

    I learned to sew from my grandmother Rosalie Joseph of Fort Yukon, she is 98 years old. I have been sewing for over 25 years now. I just love to sew, and I love to try new things with my skin and beads.

    The wilderness and my subsistence way of life are what I love about living in my small village.
