ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Jaida Grey Eagle

Carson Faust © Jaida Grey Eagle 

 

Jaida Grey Eagle is an Oglala Lakota freelance documentary photographer located in St. Paul, MN. She is a member of the Women's Photograph, Indigenous Photography, and 400 Years Project. She is a co-producer on the 'Sisters Rising' documentary, which is the powerful story of six Native American women reclaiming personal and tribal sovereignty in the face of ongoing sexual violence against Indigenous women in the United States.

Jaida feels that photography gives her a purpose and is dedicated to showing the beauty of Indigenous cultures.  It's important to see contemporary Native photographers working today and not just delve into the past to idealize tribal culture, which has a way of trivializing it.  Native visual perspective is important as they must be able to tell their own stories. Jaida is a significant young photographer to watch as she grows and strengthens her visual voice. We look forward to following her on her journey.  ■
