As an Indigenous person to the United States and Canada, I am from the waɁač and Tsawout First Nations village and a descendant of both Nuu-chah-nulth and Coast Salish families. I was raised on the homelands of the Makah Tribe in Western Washington. My paternal lineage includes a long line of whalers and members of the Hamatsa and Wolf Society, while my maternal side practiced the Big House ceremony. Five generations ago, my ancestors signed the Makah Treaty. Today, my very existence is a testament to their resilience and tenacity. The opportunity to engage with Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists, participate in professional development, and receive formal instruction in metalsmithing will be a transformational experience for me. - kʷaɁowišč tyee Inanna McCarty
