Join Shawnee Real Bird for a virtual discussion about the inspiration and experience that have brought them to this point.

From Shawnee:
From rolling plains to flying planes, I interpret my life through multimedia creation. My philosophy is by any medium necessary, and the stories that inspire me are at the center of Creation. I will explore themes of identity, remembrance, and way of life
