We are excited to announce that one of Beyond Buckskin's artists is launching an all new podcast focusing on interviews with other Native American artists.
Michael Adams (Hopi/Tewa) resides on the Hopi reservation in the rural part of Northern Arizona. Here he remains connected to his culture and family, while running his jewelry design business, Gourd Jewels.
Last week I had the great opportunity to do what I rarely get to do: talk about the business side of Beyond Buckskin. Most interviews that I do are focused on the mission behind Beyond Buckskin, or about Native American fashion in general, or about issues of cultural appropriation.
I (digitally) sat down with Collin Price, a Ho-Chunk tribal member and the founder of a new website called Entreprenative. The mission of this site is to create a forum for Native American entrepreneurs to share tips, inspire one another, and propel Native-run businesses forward.
When I was in Winnipeg the other week, I was asked to do an interview for the radio show At the Edge of Canada: Indigenous Research, and it was a wonderful experience talking with the host, Dr Robert-Falcon Ouellette, about the exciting world of Native fashion. The interview is available online as a podcast, and you can access it by clicking here or here (and I actually sound semi-intelligent. Rock out!)
