A North County, Indigenous fashion designer and artist has been appointed to the Indian Arts and Crafts Board under the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Okuma joins a panel of three other commissioners, including another newly appointed member, Jordan Ann Craig, a Northern Cheyenne artist from Pojoaque Valley, New Mexico.Along with the appointment of the two new commissioners, the Department of the Interior also announced it would be holding nation-to-nation meetings with individual tribes to draft changes to the rules implemented under the Indian Arts and Crafts Act.
“Arts and crafts are important to Native communities, both culturally and economically,” he said. “Updating these regulations to include modern forms of art and craft work will support Indigenous artisans and craftspeople.” Okuma studied graphic design at Palomar College before continuing her education at the Institute of American Indian Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
