Quannah Chasinghorse, Fist Raised by Kiliii Yuyan
Quannah Chasinghorse, a groundbreaking Indigenous model, stands tall and confident, her gaze piercing through the lens to remind viewers “whose land you’re living on”. Using her fame to support activism, Chasinghorse’s assertive presence speaks to her dedication to creating positive change and elevating the voices of marginalized communities.
Quannah Rose Chasinghorse (born June 7, 2002) is a Native American model and fierce land protector who is an advocate for causes that affect her community. Her Indigenous ancestry is both Hän Gwich’in (from Alaska and Canada) and Oglala Lakota (from South Dakota)
Now that Chasinghorse has catapulted into the spotlight, walking the runways of Prabal Gurung, Chloé, and Chanel (among others) and attending the Met Gala, she's using her platform to advocate for change. She is using her unique beauty to forward the narrative of protecting indigenous lands, their people, and their animals while killing it as a model.
