Debbie Rattling Leaf

Debbie Rattling Leaf’s art is a reflection of Arapaho traditions, storytelling, and connection to the land. She works with natural materials such as quills, beads, and hides, blending traditional techniques with contemporary designs. Her intricate beadwork and quillwork embody cultural resilience, while her use of earth-toned dyes and organic textures brings a sense of place to each piece. Inspired by the cycles of nature and the wisdom of her ancestors, Debbie’s work serves as both a tribute to Arapaho heritage and a bridge to future generations.
