JENA BAND OF CHOCTAW INDIANS
AGE: 17
I’m a 17 year old tribal member in central Louisiana. Over the past year I’ve had the honor of representing my tribe as tribal princess. I plan on attending Northwestern State University next fall.
The main message of the painting is that no matter what age, or what size, we as native youth have a voice. We were put on this planet to care for Mother Earth, this explaining the background color choice.
