Today, we’re excited to speak with Alexandra Buffalohead. Alex is from the Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate and is the Director of Communications and Partnerships at the Native American Community Development Institute (NACDI). She’s also an artist, curator and musician.
Alex talks about what drives her work in the nonprofit world at NACDI and how she strives to find a good work/life balance to leave time for her many outside pursuits.
At 15, she was a disinterested piano student when her parents gave her the opportunity to join their blues-rock band Blue Dog. That’s when she caught the music bug and has been playing keys, performing and recording with them ever since.
As a visual artist, Alex has created works on canvas, paper and in sculpture. She is a curator and has put together shows for Twin Cities galleries that celebrate the voices of today’s young and established Native artists. She also talks to us about how important it is to have venues that consistently make space for Native artists to share and develop work.
