Artist Statement

As a young, Cheyenne Woman, I feel it is Imperative to use my art as a way to tell the story of the Cheyenne Peoples' struggle that day at Washita.

It was a horrible day, but the strength of the people showed that day and the days following and we have overcome that day and are still here as survivors to tell the story that was taken away from many of our people on November 27th, 1868.
