Ep. 005 Weaving Identity and Heritage Through Tattooing with Natalie Standingcloud
When Natalie Standingcloud etches stories into skin, each line is more than art—it's heritage, history, and identity. Today, she grants us a glimpse into her world, where tattoos are a canvas for the Salish and Cherokee stories that run as deep as the ink. As Natalie weaves her personal tale, we travel the threads of her cultural tapestry, learning how a single tattoo can mark the beginning of a woman's journey, serve as an emblem of indomitable spirit, and bind her to the roots that hold her steadfast against the winds of time.
Embark on an emotional ride with us as Natalie recounts the sweat and tears of the Remember the Removal Bike Ride, where the asphalt miles under her wheels brought her face to face with the legacy of the Trail of Tears. Her voice carries the weight of generations, each word a step closer to understanding what it means to be Cherokee in heart and in spirit. As we traverse the realms of acting and comedy with Natalie's experiences, from community theater's embrace to the spotlight with the 1491s and "Reservation Dogs," we see the mosaic of humor and drama that shapes Native American identity today.
Natalie's narrative doesn't end at the edge of the stage; it extends to the catwalks of New York Fashion Week, where her strides echo the pride of Cherokee artists. Her journey of self-discovery, which challenges the notion that one must excel in a singular creative field, paints a portrait of a woman whose essence is mirrored in every facet of her work. Join us as Natalie Standingcloud shares a masterclass not just on Indigenous tattooing, but on living a life where every mark, every role, and every walk is a testament to the enduring stories of her ancestors.
