Artist Bio
My art work is cultural and is rooted in Native American traditional art forms. Horse regalia has been a part of Dakota history for many generations, it is re-emerging amongst the horse nation in Indian Country. I am proud to be a part of the revitalization of this amazing art form.
I have created traditional horse regalia in life size, wearable by live horses and a mini version for display. I have created many traditional dance regalia outfits over the years for my family and my grandchildren. I have created ribbon skirts and shirts worn for ceremony and honoring events. I have also made star quilts for ceremony and honoring/memorial events. I have participated in art displays in the community and for Lower Sioux where I am an enrolled member. I have also facilitated a youth horse regalia teaching.
*Doris is also the Executive Director of Dakota Wicohan, an organization whose mission is “to revitalize Dakota as a living language, and through it, transmit Dakota lifeways to future generations.”
