Artist Biographies

Katrina Her Many Horses, one of the co-founders of Oyate, was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. She is a descendant of the Oglala Lakota, Cheyenne, Taos Pueblo Meskwaki and Leech Lake Ojibwe nations. In 2018, Katrina received her Associates degree in Business Management from United Tribes Technical College. In 2024, she then graduated from Haskell Indian Nations University with her Bachelor’s in Business Management. Katrina now resides in Lawrence, Kansas where she and her sister Star Her Many Horses are pursuing the growth and expansion of Oyate. She has been creating Indigenous art through beading and sewing since the age of 14. She looks forward to expanding her knowledge in different art mediums in the future and is grateful for her family’s teachings that has inspired the art she makes today.

In addition to our founders artwork, Oyate strives to uplift multiple Indigenous artists and provide them with a platform to share and highlight their work! Look out for our future collaborations!
