Pass The Feather is honoured to present: Leah Shenandoah

Leah Kaha:whi’tha Shenandoah

Oneida Iroquois Wolf Clan member from Oneida, NY.

I have been making art and performing my entire life with my Mother, Joanne Shenandoah who has 17 albums and a Grammy. My Grandmother, Maisie Shenandoah Wolf Clan Mother taught me native crafts from a young age, my whole family makes Native art and music! I intend to help heal others through my art and music, with loving intent, materials and colors. I love creating, I smudge and pray to be a vessel for Creator’s love to flow through my heart, voice, mind and hands.

I have a BS Cum Laude in Textiles from Syracuse University and an MFA Cum Laude candidate in Metals and Jewelry from Rochester Institute of Technology.

I won a Native American Music Award for “Best Debut Artist” and a Syracuse Area Music Award for “Best Alternative” for my debut album “Spectra.”

“My goal in life is to help heal Mother Earth and her inhabitants through my music and art.” – Leah Shenandoah
