The title this ‘Envision’. I wanted to create a piece that inspired Native youth to chase their dreams and to know that anything is possible if you set your mind to it. I titled this ‘Envision’ because I want the youth to envision where they want to be, what do they want to do when they grow up, and envision who they can be as a tribal leader. Native youth are medicine who carry on the next generation. Where I draw my strength from is my culture and traditional values. This is what we pass on to the next generation.
