In this episode we talk with Cherokee artist, language advocate, podcaster, and film producer ᎨᎳᏗ aka Keli Gonzales. ᎨᎳᏗ is a Cherokee artist from Welling, Oklahoma. Drawing on her experiences as a Cherokee woman, Gonzales creates paintings and drawings portraying the Cherokee people in a way that is true to life. She is the producer of the documentary ᎤᏕᏲᏅ (What They've Been Taught) and We Will Speak, which premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival and is part of the Los Angeles Times “Short Docs” series.
In this third series we are talking with Southeastern folks who have received their traditional tattoos to gain insight and understanding to help prepare ourselves for receiving and bearing traditional tattoos. In this episode, ᎨᎳᏗ shares her experience receiving them, how it's been to have them in her community, how the tattoos have helped her, and more.
