A mother dedicated to preserving and sharing Haudenosaunee traditions. With more than 40 years of beadwork artistry and deep roots in her community, Tina blends her passion for culture, connection, and hospitality to inspire others and carry knowledge forward for future generations. Tina Mt. Pleasant is a member of the Tuscarora Nation, Turtle Clan. She grew up on the Tuscarora Nation, just outside of Niagara Falls, NY, and resides there with her three sons.
Currently, Tina is the Director of Travel Trade Sales at Destination Niagara USA - the Destination Marketing Organization for Niagara Falls and Niagara County. She has worked with the organization for over nine years, starting with the DMO as their Visitor Center Manager and has transitioned into several roles to her current role. She has worked in the tourism industry over eighteen years holding positions with various hotels, restaurants and attractions.
She is very involved in the tourism industry. Tina is an active board member for the Bus Association of New York, and Wine, Water & Wonders of New York State. She serves as the Marketplace Co-Chair for the Bus Association of New York, the Meeting Advisory Committee for the American Bus Association, and the Advisory Committee for the Castellani Art Museum. She completed her Certified Travel Industry Specialist (CTIS) Certification through the American Bus Association in January 2021.
Tina is also a traditional Tuscarora beadwork artist and has been creating for over forty years. She has had many teachers throughout her years of beading, many included elders from her nation. At the age of 13 she started to sew and create her traditional Haudenosaunee clothing. Today she continues to work with both mediums on a regular basis and takes custom orders to create Haudenosaunee traditional clothing that gets worn all across North America. It is very important to her to pass along this knowledge. In her spare time, you can find her teaching classes to ensure this knowledge continues to the younger generations. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
