About the poet:
Carla Drumbeater (Aamoo) is a member of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, an Army Veteran and worked a respiratory therapist during the Covid pandemic which altered her perspective in life. She started sharing her stories and making art. She did not know she had a story to tell. She is grateful that people like to hear her stories.
About the illustrator:
Marlena Myles, a self-taught Spirit Lake Dakota artist in St. Paul, Minnesota, brings Indigenous history, language, and traditions into modern contexts through children’s books, augmented reality, murals, and more. Her notable works include augmented reality public art installations such as the Dakota Spirit Walk, Sacred Hoop Walk and Wodakota Walk. She has exhibited at the Minneapolis Institute of Art and other prestigious galleries, created a Google Doodle, and launched Wíyouŋkihipi Productions to promote Dakota culture. In 2023, she won the Knight Arts + Tech Fellowship, Joyce Award, and created her first documentary, "Realms of Resilience".
