4KINSHIP is honored to have Maka/Keixe Yaxti, and her stunning collection Moonture at our webstore!.

These lightweight earrings, handsewn with soft fox fur, adorned with vintage stones, and framed by delicately beaded seams, are a tribute to the quiet joy of watching snowflakes fall in a mesmerizing dance. Suspended from gold-plated French hooks, they carry the feeling of those gentle, hypnotic moments when the sky becomes a canvas of delicate patterns, inviting us to pause, breathe, and find beauty in the fleeting and the soft.

LENGTH: 6"

Biography: 

Maka/Keixe Yaxti, a Tlingit woman from Yaakwdaat, carries a rich heritage rooted in her clan's migration along the Copper River from the North. Yaakwdaat, a village in the Northern reaches of Southeast Alaska, is where her ancestors have long settled. Maka belongs to the Raven moiety of the Copper River Clan, specifically the House of the Owl, and is a child of the /Kanien'kehá:ka people. Her early education came from the land itself, with her maternal grandparents serving as its interpreters. Her understanding of humanity was deeply influenced by traditional practices, including harvest, song and dance, language, ceremony, and genealogy. Maka’s creative work emerges from a place where storytelling meets a vision for artistic abundance. She remains a lifelong student of Tlingit history and art.

Maka’s brand, Moonture | @moon.ture  seeks to create at the intersection of cultural intention and coherent emotion. Drawing from their Lingít, Kanien'kehá:ka and Māori heritage, Maka and her partner Aorere center the soul of their work in intention, energy, and Mana. The vision of the work is a reality where existing as a Tangata Whenua/Indigenous person is to thrive.
