Danielle SeeWalker

Danielle SeeWalker is a Húŋkpapȟa Lakȟóta citizen of the Standing Rock Sioux Nation and an artist, writer, curator and activist based in Denver. She is deeply involved in Indigenous advocacy, serving on the Missing & Murdered Indigenous Relatives (MMIR) Task Force of Colorado and contributing to Senate Bill 22-150, which established an MMIR Office in the state. A commissioner for the Denver American Indian Commission since 2018, SeeWalker has been a co-chair for two years.

As a multidisciplinary fine artist and muralist, she creates work that explores Native American stereotypes, microaggressions and colonialism, merging contemporary and Lakota traditions. Her art challenges expectations of Native American art and focuses on Native narratives, often inspired by her own life and stories from her elders. SeeWalker is also the author of Still Here: A Past to Present Insight of Native American People & Culture and founded The Red Road Project in 2013, which captures positive stories of Native American communities. The project has evolved into a nonprofit that provides cultural arts opportunities for Native Americans in urban areas.
