Evan Benally Atwood
Yá'át'ééh
I am Ta'neeszahnii (Tangle clan) born for Naakai dine'é (Mexican clan) and bilagáana (english/welsh) residing in the ancestral lands of the Chinook tribe (portland, or).
I am a queer Diné creative working passionately within the queer, Indigenous feminist communities, documenting stories, and uplifting & empowering marginalized voices.
Ultimately my work is driven by thoughtfully documenting using photography and filmmaking , with the intent to inspire others in shared communities.
