What does it mean to be a Cherokee person? There are a lot of nuances surrounding this question, as there always will be. However, Jakeli Swimmer, Michelle Long, and Keli Gonzales directly show us the utmost important aspects of being a Cherokee person. In each of their art practices, details of Cherokee Language, Cherokee Community, Cherokee Lineage, and Cherokee History and Politics emerge as different entities to deliver the answer to the previous question. Their art speaks of their daily lives, in which they are committed to and immersed in Cherokee Language, Culture, and Community.
