I am a retired educator. I live and create art on the Rosebud reservation, homeland of the Sicangu Lakota Oyate. I am an enrolled member of the tribal nation. I, now spend much of my time doing traditional Lakota beadwork, sewing, quilting, knitting, crocheting, and embroidering. I like to journey and try to write daily. I believe that self-evaluation is a necessary part of everyone's life journey.
