2022 Creative Native Artist

23, Seneca Nation

Creative is what I am… creation is what I bring to this world. Creation is what happens when I make an idea into reality. But these ideas are not just mine, they also belong to my ancestors. Their thoughts that were not given the chance to prosper due to our trickling trauma. So I create, to share their story as well as mine. The women tell me to restore the Seneca’s matriarchy. That’s why I am armed with symbols of war and truth. “Let’s Be Of One Mind”
