ON THE CLOCK: A Learning Exchange for Rural Connectors and Cultural Workers is a monthly online series hosted by DoPT + Voices for Rural Resilience, in partnership with the Rural Assembly.

Holly Doll is the founder and president of Native Arts United, owner of Five Nations Arts, a public speaker on cultural education and racial sensitivity, and making a shift to having a healing-centered approach to work and life. She is also an artist, specializing in traditional Lakota forms of beadwork and quillwork, modern painting with watercolor, and occasionally writing poetry. Her mother taught from the age of two everything she knows when it comes to art and she has kept it up ever since.

A lover of Halloween, astrology, fall scented candles, poetry, baking, fiction books, and crying over Pixar movies. Lives by this quote by spoken word poet Shane Koyczan: “If we ever become who we hope we are, it is because we see how far there is still to go. And if we are none of these things to everyone, then we are none of none of these things at all."
