Committed to Telling Native Stories Through Her Art and Activism with Danielle SeeWalker (#153)

In this episode, I talk with Danielle SeeWalker, a Húŋkpapȟa Lakȟóta citizen of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.

Native American stories are too frequently told from an historical perspective, but Danielle and other contemporary Indigenous artists want you to know that they're still here. They never left. We just silenced them for too long after stealing their land.

Danielle has beautiful stories to tell, from which we can all learn. And she's dealing with the same stuff as other artists: balancing motherhood with her art and activism. We discuss:

The symbolism in her work that came from a dream.
The many hats she wears.
The variety of art forms she works with.
How she decides which projects to take on.
How the rest of us can serve as allies for Indigenous people around the globe.

One lovely takeaway from this interview is that Danielle doesn't separate her art from her life. Everything is connected.
