About the Art & Artist
Each year, the conference sponsors one American Indian, Alaska Native, or Native Hawaiian artist whose work is featured on digital and print conference materials, including the conference poster. We’re thrilled to introduce this year’s conference art, “Untitled” by Nizhonia Toledo!

About the Art
I create artwork that honors Indigenous culture, storytelling, and the enduring spirit of Native communities through imagery inspired by the land and traditions.
Artist Biography
My name is Nizhonia Toledo. I am an Indigenous artist from the homelands of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Eastern Oregon. My work explores themes of cultural memory, identity, and resilience, drawing inspiration from Plateau landscapes, Native horsemanship, and the living traditions of my community. Through painting and visual storytelling, I honor the strength and continuity of Indigenous people while reimagining historical imagery through a contemporary lens.
