Chippewa Cree fashion designer’s face mask art draws fans worldwide

In Rocky Boy, Montana a self-described fashionista and clothing designer used her skills to put her own unique twist on a face mask and create socially-distant cultural connections in the process.

“Making masks, that was my therapy,” said Rebekah Jarvey, who works as a human resources generalist for the Chippewa Cree tribe. “Art definitely connects us as Indigenous people. That’s what brings us together, is our art, our beadwork, our sewing.”

She is taking orders for her clothing and masks. You can reach her at [email protected], or find her on Instagram @rebekah.jarvey.
