My name is Anthony Lee BlackOwl. I am a proud Native American man with roots in the Southern Cheyenne, Kiowa, and Seneca tribes. I grew up in Colorado and Oklahoma, where most of my tribal family still lives.
My formative years were strongly influenced by my Southern Cheyenne traditions. Growing up, I was a Gourd dancer and a Northern Traditional dancer. I speak my language and am called upon to sing for ceremonies and celebrations such as births, deaths, and weddings. Because of my early closeness to the Holy Men in my tribe, I have grown into a storyteller focused on creation stories and stories that teach my native traditions.
I am currently a psychology major at Folsom Lake College and am pursuing degrees in neuro-psychology and criminal psychology. It is my career goal to help others overcome personal barriers that prevent them from achieving life goals – whether those barriers stem from interpersonal or biological issues.
