I am Skye Little Cloud, an Indigenous artist who grew up in New York. As an Indigenous artist, my creations are deeply rooted in my experience with being Native American in a modern society. When you are born Indigenous you are born an activist. The fundamental principle of your existence is an act of resilience. Colonization has and continues to make merciless attempts at erasing the voice of my people. The very people who loved and cared for this land before there was even a concept of America. With art as my outlet, I reclaim the voice stolen from us and use it to highlight the beauty and complexity of the Indigenous experience. The power of art lies in its ability to communicate countless teachings in the form of a vision. This is why we, as artists, have the ability to embrace the world in all of its ambiguity along with the power to stand at the forefront in representing our people.
