A fantastic chat session, pull up a chair, you are right on time! Nathalie Standingcloud is a Cherokee, Muskogee, Salish-Kootanai, and Colville artist who thrives in the duality of the permanent and the performative. A seasoned talent on both stage and screen, Nathalie has spent her life fulfilling childhood dreams—from her first role at age six to starring in major streaming hits like *Reservation Dogs* and *Killers of the Flower Moon*. Whether she is under the stage lights or the tattoo machine, her work is a sustainable practice of Indigenous storytelling. As a licensed artist, she uses her needles as a tool for healing, tattooing ancestral stories onto skin and reclaiming the visual history of her people. Her expertise is further solidified by her "Best of Show" win at the Indigenous Tattoo Music Festival and her role as a contributing author to the book *Truly Tribal: Contemporary Indigenous Tattooing*. From live painting and designing a commemorative bandana for the OKC Thunder to her work on the silver screen, Nathalie ensures that every project she touches remains a reciprocal act of celebration for the community that raised her.
