Girls and boys are taught to be proud of their bodies. They are encouraged to interact when they are teenagers. But once engaged, the girls wear the beaded cloak and when married also the red hat. Fooling around is then over!
The beadwork is not just pretty. It symbolises many aspects and stages of life. For instane: when a girl gets engages, she makes a bead jewel for her fiancé. They can keep away illness or give protection.
