this is my mothers necklace, it is a strung up group of small plastic shells, it can be used to portray my lost Samoan heritage, my mother never knew her real father, and he was Samoan, so this has real meaning for me, with my board being alot about who i am, i think that it says a lot about not being brought up with the stereotypical Samoan/Maori lifestyle, which then shows how i am today. it is just another piece of me that makes me who i am.
