Raven Two Feathers (Cherokee, Seneca, Cayuga, Comanche) (he/they) is a Two Spirit, Emmy award winning creator based in Seattle, WA. Originally from New Mexico, they spent their childhood moving and exploring Indigenous cultures across the continent and Pacific. They began making films in Hawaii, jumping onto the path they’d dreamed of since they were three. They made their first explicitly Indigenous film in their teens, and returned to New Mexico to attend Santa Fe University of Art & Design, graduating magna cum laude with a BFA in Film Production. After graduation, their path led them to create more Indigenous art - things began to feel right: delving into new mediums while embracing imperfections. In 2020 they released a comic, “Qualifications of Being,” about their journey of realizing they are trans and Two Spirit, and premiered at ImagineNATIVE 2021 with the VR experience, “A Drive to Top Surgery.” They are in post-production for their premiere feature, “The Raven and the Bull,” an experimental Indigiqueer documentary. The process is long and difficult but filled with the laughter, care, and openness they’ve dreamed of. They continue to grow their practice through the people they meet, and the stories that guide them.
