The Métis became known for their beadwork in the 19th century, when their decorative beadwork patterns earned them the moniker the Flower Beadwork People.

Inspired by what they had seen in nature and intertwined with French embroidery designs, the Métis women created their own style of beadwork. The five-petalled prairie rose is the most common Métis beading motif, while curves, stems or tendrils are typically used to connect every element within a beadwork pattern.

Another classic motif is the feathered stem (as seen on this coin), which is marked by bead accents or "mouse tracks" that run down its sides. Métis beaders are also known to intentionally include a mistake-a miscoloured or misplaced bead or "spirit bead"-in their work to protect them from vanity, since only the Creator can create something perfect.
