Thank you to Quannah Chasinghorse for stopping in to visit the Lumbee Tribe staff during her first visit to Lumbee Tribal Territory. Quannah, a fashion model, actor, and fourth-generation Indigenous land protector, is in our community for UNC Pembroke's Native American Speakers Series Friday, March 21, 2025. Quannah visited with Lumbee Tribal Chairman Lowery just before her UNCP appearance at 7 pm. She shared about her Alaskan community and some of the projects that she has in the works. Our team shared some goodies with her for her journey, including a woven basket by Reggie Brewer.

The Deep Roots, Strong Ties Fireside Chat is at 7:00 p.m. this afternoon at the James A. Thomas Hall, Upchurch Auditorium. The event is open to the public and doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Chasinghorse is the face of a new generation of models and a powerful advocate and activist for Indigenous rights, sovereignty and representation, including justice for the movement MMIWG2S (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit People).

Chasinghorse has walked the runway for Gucci and Chloé and starred in Calvin Klein and Chanel campaigns, among other high-end brands. She has appeared on the covers of Vogue, Elle, Allure and National Geographic and was honored on Teen Vogue’s 2020 list of “Top 21 Under 21.” Chasinghorse and her mother were recently featured on an episode of Hillary and Chelsea Clinton’s Apple+ TV series Gutsy, which celebrated environmental activists and was the subject of the documentary Walking Two Worlds.
