About Us

Halito! My name is Twaila Wiley and I am a Registered Artist with the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. I started bead work when I began making my children’s regalia. I have made everything from moccasins to crowns and most items in between. I am a full-time high school science teacher and enjoy doing bead work in my free time. Creating beautiful pieces for others brings me a sense of pride and happiness. I love to carry on Choctaw traditions and share my knowledge with my students and friends. Both of my daughters have learned to bead which makes Choctaw Creations a family business.
