2021 Creative Native Artist

Our current media has an impact on the Native American people where a lot of the youth look up to people who look nothing like them. This year of Native American representation was a good year because of the show reservation dogs and Quannah Chasinghorse. I got the inspiration from Time magazine to celebrate the person of the year for Native people so the work of the Native people won’t go unnoticed. That would help the native youth who are struggling to find their place in this world and that is what I look forward to in the future.
