Halito! Chim achukma? Sv hohchifo yvt, Cheyenne Sparks. I am a wife, mother of two and registered artist with my tribe, the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. I have a passion for spreading joy through both modern and traditional beadwork and I am always looking for new ways to share my culture.

I began beading in 2010 as a young woman looking for a way to connect to my culture, family and self. I studied American Indian Studies at Oklahoma State University where I joined the Native American Student Association as a freshman. As I had no one to teach me, I began recreating techniques I saw in images and in person. It was hard to learn alone, but so worth it.

Beadwork has taken me on so many adventures since then! A child of the JOM Program, I now have the opportunity to go into schools and teach beadwork and cultural practices to students and parents. During COVID, I found joy in sharing bead lessons, tips and tricks on TikTok and have taught virtual zoom classes to universities and organizations alike.

In 2023, I graduated from the University of Oklahoma College of Law with a Masters of Legal Studies in Indigenous People’s Law. This experience has given me the further knowledge I needed to be an advocate for my community both in and out of the courthouse. In 2025, I joined the Matriarch OKC Chapter - an intertribal community organization promoting healing, & empowering Indigenous women, Two Spirit & non-binary relatives through intergenerational collective & Indigenous wisdom.

What brings me the utmost joy is being able to be the person for others that I so desperately needed myself. I love teaching others to create and I love being able to create things for others!
