Explanation:

To combine the sentences, we first use "even though" to show the contrast between using new elements and wanting to reflect traditional culture, and then "so" to show the result of mixing styles. The logical flow is: Dakota artists were using new designs and materials (contrast with wanting traditional reflection) even though they wanted their beadwork to reflect their traditional culture, so traditional styles were mixed with new styles.

Answer:

Even though Dakota artists were using new designs and materials, they wanted their beadwork to reflect their traditional culture, so traditional styles were mixed with new styles.
