Shelley Niro’s words resonate deeply: “If you’re a native person making art, then it’s native art...It doesn’t have to look a certain way or be marketed, that’s what it was, marketed in a specific way. There is so much more to us than that flat line of this is what an Indian person is. There are endless amounts of wells that we can fill and continue to fill.” ⁠

In this film, Shelley takes us on a journey into her artistic practice, unveiling her profound connection with the natural world and the myriad influences that shape her work.
