She tells Cree how braids have been a special tradition for many years, passed down from grandmothers to mothers to daughters. Cree learns how different styles of braids have meaning and how they have always been a way for people to express who they are. Grannie Annie's stories show how braids are more than just a hairstyle-they are a connection to family, culture, and history.
