Tanis S'eiltin creates artworks that explore her identity as a Tlingit (Native Alaskan) woman living in the 21st century. Combining traditional and contemporary artistic techniques, S'eiltin notes that her work "questions the misrepresentation of Indigenous peoples in Western academia, media, and in the minds of mainstream Americans."

Native Arts 360's a.i.m. is to promote Indigenous art and culture year round so we collectively expand what it means to celebrate Indigenous peoples contributions beyond the month: acknowledge and appreciate the beauty of the original peoples as they deserve to be.
Originating from Ketchikan, Alaska, Káa Sháyee is graphic artist and a member of the Tlingit Tribe. Like many Native Americans, Káa Sháyee’s cultural identity has been heavily disrupted by colonialism. He is dedicated to piecing together his Tlingit identity through art and education.

Lummi and Nooksack artist Jason LaClair, Savannah LeCornu ( Tsimshian, Haida, Nez Perce) and Kaa Shayee (Tlingit) will share their bold designs in vibrant palettes - with highly disciplined Coast Salish and form line design incorporated into their epic stylized visions.
Two of Whatcom county's extraordinarily talented artists sold their art for this Labor Day market at Fringe Brewing. On a laid back end of summer warm day Jason LaClair of Lummi and Kaa Shayee, a Tlingit artist local to the area, boldly displayed their phenomenal Coast Salish and line form design through jewelry, prints and stickers. The two artists had recently wrapped up their 160' "Indigiversal" mural at Waypoint Park in Bellingham, WA, positively moving beyond some of the controversy due to how the artists were treated by the Paper Whale organizers of the event.
On a smokey weekend at Waypoint Park in Bellingham, WA, Indigeversal Collective installed a massive 160 foot mural at the entrance of the park. On August 18-20, a team of extremely talented artists from Coast Salish to Cherokee origins spent 3 days painting in the Coast Salish and form line design styles associated with Pacific Northwest tribal nations.
