Step into a story that spans generations and seashells.

On Sunday, June 1, 2025, the Coeur d'Alene Casino Resort Hotel invites you to a powerful cultural experience: the Dentalium Earrings Workshop — a celebration of art, history, and Indigenous identity through traditional jewelry making.

Doors open at 11:30 AM, with the event running from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM, offering a full afternoon of creativity and cultural connection.

Led by members of the Coeur d’Alene Tribe, this immersive workshop introduces participants to the art of crafting Dentalium earrings — elegant adornments once worn by women to signify status, wealth, and heritage. As you shape your own pair, you’ll hear the stories behind the shells, which once traveled as currency from the Pacific Northwest to the Great Plains.

This event is open to ages 15 and up and includes all materials, hands-on instruction, and the rare opportunity to bring home not just jewelry — but a living piece of tradition.
