Quannah Chasinghorse at the met gala
Here’s a quote from her recent interview in Vogue:
“Quannah Chasinghorse — whose Indigenous ancestry is both Hän Gwich’in (from Alaska and Canada) and Oglala Lakota (from South Dakota) Armed with her traditional Hän Gwich’in tattoos, the model is at once redefining beauty, honoring a Native practice dating back more than 10,000 years, and challenging the notion that all models should be a blank canvas.
Her striking face tattoos—which are called Yidįįłtoo and, in accordance with tradition, hand-poked by a woman, in this case her mother, to commemorate events in one’s life — are proudly displayed as lines on her chin and at the corner of her eyes. ‘The lines represent overcoming generational and personal traumas,’ says Chasinghorse, referring to both colonization and to the prohibition, in recent centuries, of Yidįįłtoo. ‘To be able to bring [the tattoos] back is a powerful thing—you feel empowered knowing that you’re carrying on a tradition that was meant to be erased.’”
