In the 1980s, he began putting his carved fossilized fetish carvings together with various beads and forming exquisite necklaces.All of the fetishes in this necklace were hand carved by Kaniatobe using bison bone for the horse. The beads are mostly antique glass Venetian and Czech trade beads including “eye” beads (1700-1800), early molded glass (1600s), milk glass (1600-1920), and feather glass (1700s). Also used are ancient hand carved agate, bone, shell, brass, copper and silver elements. The rings are used to symbolize continuity in the universe.
