Model Quannah Chasinghorse: ‘If you want to work with me, you have to work with all of me’

CNN  

Editor’s Note: Quannah Chasinghorse is an Indigenous activist and land protector who has become a sought-after model over the past two years. It’s really beautiful to be a part of a larger change in the fashion industry where people from all walks of life are increasingly represented. I choose to walk the path I do because of those teachings, and today, I continue to try my best and do my part, spreading awareness to many issues within Native country, including climate justice, protecting sacred lands and waters, Indigenous sovereignty, and the movement MMIWG2S, which stands for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit People and was formed to stop violence against Native women. I can’t even explain the type of feeling I get because it’s such a powerful thing for our people to finally feel seen and heard, after such a long time without being represented in fashion.
