#81: Quannah Rose Chasinghorse - Indigenous Wisdom, Rewriting History, Connecting To Nature

Quannah Chasinghorse is first and foremost an activist for indigenous people, and she has also become a sensation in the modeling world. Her Indigenous ancestry is both Hän Gwich'in (from Alaska and Canada) and Oglala Lakota (from South Dakota). Quannah has wanted to model since she was a young child but rarely saw her culture represented in the fashion she poured over. She says, “I was obsessed with watching runway shows on television—Dior, Chanel, Prada—and I was always posing for pictures,” she says, but because of this lack of representation, “it was really hard for me to feel like I had the potential to be a model.” - Vogue Before making a splash as a model, Quannah built a community around her activism work - she continues to use her voice to address issues near and dear to her heart and her people, including climate activism. She has a history of fighting to conserve Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, a 20-million-acre ecosystem that continues to face endangerment due to fossil-fuel extraction. “I grew up seeing my mom work so hard for her people—she taught me that there's no shame in speaking up.” Quannah on Instagram: @quannah.rose Quannah in Vogue: Her Interview Reservation Dogs on Hulu The Condor & The Eagle Public Trust (Free on YouTube) _______ YOU ARE LOVED.
