Navajo/Hopi/Hawaiian/Maori
K Maraea Hokulani is a well-rounded and charismatic performer deeply rooted in her Navajo and Hawaiian lineage (among Hopi and Maori). Well-versed in traditional music, dance, and oral storytelling, she's known performance from an early age. Dabbling in many art forms, she's thoroughly enjoyed the process of learning in general, whether it was hula and various Pacifika dances, screenwriting, classical violin, singing and playing in a Hawaiian music band, and acting in theatre classes in high school and college. Family and community have always held priority, being cast in any role and taking up space as an indigenous woman serving as representation for these communities is her ultimate goal.

Acoma Pueblo
Hey, I'm Bradley! I'm an actor pursuing opportunities in theatre, film and television in New York City. I graduated with my BFA in Acting with a Minor in Musical Theatre in 2019 from Marymount Manhattan College. I was born in Santa Fe, New Mexico and grew up skiing, hiking, and rafting in the Rocky Mountain deserts. I’m a proud Native American performer belonging to the Acoma Tribe, and have Mexican heritage as well. When I was 14, my family and I started over in Portland, OR, where I lived until I moved to New York City. Being exposed to so many unique cultures has informed all of who I am, and it’s imperative for me to be a representative of my roots through my work. I want to create art that is meaningful, inclusive, and unique. Simply put: art is one of the few things that has the ability to unite people. Art is knowledge, art is power. I consider it my duty to contribute in any way I can. And we’re making progress! There is only more to come.

Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians
Tomantha is an Ojibwe, multidisciplinary storyteller (actor, musician, songwriter, playwright, beader) residing in Massachusetts. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Lake Superior State University. She is a Miranda Family Fellow through the National Theater Institute, and an Art and Survival Fellow through Double Edge Theatre and Betty’s Daughter Arts Collective. Sylvester is an ensemble member through Double Edge Theater and an Emerging Native Artist through the Ohketeau Cultural Center where she also works in community advocacy. She believes that storytelling comes in many forms and is a practical and necessary component to healing, joy, and knowledge. “We are constantly surrounded by language and images and that they have the power to shift and change our realities. The type of language we’re using, the stories we are being told, and who tells them are critical when shaping a world of truth and connection. This is not a simple philosophy but a scientific reality may ancestors have known since time immemorial."
