One emerging Lakota artist is featured at the Sioux Indian Museum inside the Journey Museum and Learning Center.

Tammy Eagle Hunter made her debut tonight at the Journey Museum through the Indian Arts and Crafts Board with the U.S Department of the Interior.

She says she never considered herself an artists until people wanted to display her works and she started it as a stress reliever.

When not painting, Eagle Hunter is the Youth Program Director of the Cheyenne River Youth Project and says she wanted to show the students how bright their culture can be.

Tammy Eagle Hunter, featured artists says, "So part of why I started to paint more things that were that culturally relevant was because of that. Because I wanted the kids that I work with to see the boldness and the beauty in the brightness and the vibrancy of their culture and who they are and what they can be and so I think that's why they're so bright."

The exhibit will be on display at the Sioux Indian Museum inside the Journey until March 24th.
