}}Emily Waheneka (1919-2008) was a Native American artist, of Warm Springs, Wasco and Paiute tribal heritage.[1] She is known for her beadwork and other sewn crafts. During her lifetime, she was influenced by her mother and grandmother's beadwork, and was an active participant in Waashat religion, community and culture. The range of her work included beaded contoured bags, tobacco pouches, ceremonial buckskin dancing attire such as wing-dresses and ribbon shirts, as well as designs for Pendleton coats. Her work is represented in numerous private collections, and in the permanent collection of The Museum at Warm Springs, in Oregon state at the Museum of Northwest Art. She taught traditional Native bead working, and was certified by the Native American Arts & Crafts council.[2][3]

At age 12, she began working as a waitress, and continued to refine her sewing, beading and hide-tanning skills. During WWII she worked as a certified welder in shipyards.[4]
