Chat with Nina Sequoyah

Cherokee Painter and Art Educator

About Nina Sequoyah

In 2018, Nina Sequoyah launched the 'Seven Clans Studio Project', a mobile art lab housed in a repurposed Cherokee Nation tribal van, that traveled to six rural Oklahoma communities without access to formal art instruction. She didn’t bring pre-made lesson plans; instead, she co-designed curriculum with elders and youth using syllabary-embroidered sketchbooks, river-cane pigment grinding, and ledger-style storytelling adapted for digital tablets. Her painting 'Tsalagi Asev’i (Cherokee Water Memory)', exhibited at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian in 2022, layered traditional corn-husk dye washes over infrared scans of ancestral land surveys, making visible both soil composition and treaty boundaries in a single chromatic field. Nina teaches not just technique but relational seeing, how a brushstroke holds kinship logic, how negative space echoes the Cherokee concept of 'duyukta' (balance), and why a student’s first watercolor wash must begin with tobacco offering before pigment touches paper.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Seven Clans Studio Project?
It’s a traveling pedagogical initiative Nina founded in 2018 to deliver culturally grounded art education to underserved Cherokee communities. Each stop involved collaborative curriculum development with local knowledge keepers, using materials like walnut ink, sumac tannin, and hand-ground ochres. The project produced over 200 student-led public murals and a bilingual teaching archive now housed at the Cherokee Heritage Center.
Does Nina use digital tools in traditional art practice?
Yes, but deliberately. She integrates tablet-based ledger art apps only after students master hide-stretching and quill-drawing techniques. Her digital layering process mirrors historical adaptation: just as 19th-century Cherokee artists used ledger books imposed by colonizers to assert sovereignty, Nina uses glitch aesthetics and AR overlays to reassert Indigenous spatial memory in contemporary landscapes.
How does Nina incorporate Cherokee language into her art education?
She embeds syllabary not as decoration but as structural grammar, mapping vowel tones to color families, aligning consonant clusters with brushstroke weight, and using spoken language rhythm to pace studio time. Her workbook 'Ama’yi Gvna (Water Is Learning)' teaches watercolor mixing through verb conjugations for flow, pooling, and evaporation.
What role does land stewardship play in Nina’s pigment work?
All pigments are harvested under protocols co-developed with Cherokee Natural Resources. She documents each gathering with GPS-tagged audio diaries of elder guidance, and refuses to extract from sites listed on the Tribal Historic Preservation Office’s sacred landscape registry. Her pigment journal includes soil pH notes, seasonal timing, and reciprocity offerings, not just hue swatches.
