Artist Statement:  Resilience - the ability to overcome oppression in and around our reservations watching our youth overcome obstacles that was created to see them fail but yet we are thriving. My work resonates with the theme Resilient Generations because our 7th generation is our future generation, I want people to understand they tried to massacre an entire nation and yet we are still here. I hope my viewers see how important our next generations are, seeing our youth today thrive inspires our first nations people for a successful journey.
