To All My Loved Ones Be Happy

"To All My Loved Ones Be Happy," is the inscribed message on a small, beaded bag that orphan Frances Paelian held in her little hand. In this video, Collections Curator Gary Lind-Sinanian tells us about the significance of blue beads intentionally sewn into her vest and explains other unique items that she had in her possession. These objects were thoughtfully created with purpose and symbolism that is still relevant in our culture today.
