Paytyn Growing Thunder Fogarty

Han mitakuyapi. Juanita Growing Thunder Fogarty emakuyapi. Cante waste yuha, ciyuziyapi. My name is Juanita Growing Thunder Fogarty and I come from the Fort Peck Dakoda/Nakoda tribes of Northeastern Montana. I am a traditional artist whose focus is on Dakota/Nakoda beadwork and quillwork. I am very humbled and blessed to come from a family that carries the knowledges of beadwork and quillwork; I�ve been taught that we have a responsibility to carry on these knowledges so that all future generations will prosper. I�ve been fortunate that I have been able to continue these responsibilities while also providing for my family.
