How Does Jeri Ah-be-hill talks about the history of beads Work?

Jeri Ah-be-hill uses beads to tell stories about how people lived long ago, just like you use blocks to build a castle.

Imagine you have a necklace with different colored beads on it, each bead is like a part of a story. Jeri takes these beads and arranges them in special ways that show the history of people, places, and things from long ago.

When Jeri uses beads, she’s like a time traveler who visits old villages and sees how people used to live. Each color or shape of bead can mean something, maybe red beads show happy times, while blue ones tell about cold weather. It's like when you draw pictures in your notebook to remember what happened at school.

People long ago didn’t have computers or videos to record their lives, they had beads! Jeri helps us understand how those people told their stories, just like you tell yours with words and drawings. She turns beads into a fun way for everyone, even kids, to learn about history.
