About Lonewolf Beading

Latisha Medina, also known as Ompo Mani Wi (Breaking Day Women), is a Native American of Santee/Dakota and Oglala/Lakota Sioux descent. She has been beading since the age of eight. Her grandmother was a skilled jewelry maker and imparted the foundational knowledge that guided her artistic journey. While primarily self-taught, Latisha has also taught her children the intricacies of beadwork. During her college years, she enrolled in art classes, further enriching her artistic repertoire.  Three years ago, Latisha established her own business, Lonewolf Beading, with her eldest daughter. Together, they have embarked on a journey of traveling and showcasing their creations at various art shows, craft fairs, and powwows. Their primary motivation lies in bringing joy and a sense of pride to individuals who wear their art.
