My name is Leah Shenandoah, I am a member of the Wolf Clan from Oneida, NY. I have been making art and performing my entire life with my Mother, Joanne Shenandoah, who has 17 albums and holds a Grammy. My Grandmother, Maisie Shenandoah, Wolf Clan, taught me native crafts from a young age. I intend to help heal others through my art and music, with loving intent, materials and colours.
