Speakthunder Art
Born from the spirit of healing and a warrior lineage, my mission is to restore the quality of life for my people by reconnecting them to the Creator of Heaven and Earth.
As a multigenerational horseman, my resilience was forged in the traditions of the Nakota Sioux, the Columbia River people, and the Aztec, with the Puyallup tribe serving as the foundation of my intertribal style.
The grit of the rodeo—of broncs and bulls—taught me the humility required to serve. Today, I use my inheritance as a multigenerational drum maker and artist to advocate for those transitioning out of treatment and seeking a new path.
I invite you to join me in this work. Through our art, we celebrate deliverance from addiction and find unity with the Great Spirit through his son, ensuring a legacy of cultural vitality and survival for the generations to come.
