     Okii, that means 'hello' in my Native language. My name is Terryn and I'm a proud enrolled member of the Blackfeet Tribe. I grew up on the Blackfeet reservation which is located in Browning, Montana. I have a 10 year old son who is my entire world. I currently work for an Urban Indian Organization as a Cultural Specialist because of my background with traditional knowledge, a role that has inspired me to return to school to pursue a degree in anthropology. I'm passionate about serving and uplifting my people in any way I can. In my free time, I enjoy golfing, reading and most importantly, listening to music. 


      This is an picture I took myself on the edge of Two Medicine Lake located in my people's traditional territory of Glacier National Park. 




    Music has always been a big part of my life. I listen to just about every single genre there is, but rap has always been my favorite. I grew up listening to country and classic rock with my dad. Then I would join in with my cousins while they were bumping rap and hip-hop. Over the years, I've also enjoyed creating music myself; I've played the trumpet, guitar, and piano, and I still like to pick up my guitar whenever I feel like expressing myself in other ways. There has always been something grounding and joyful about music whether it is listening or creating music. I also really love to experience music live. Concerts and live performances are where I feel most connected to the energy and emotion that the artist brings. My most recent concert was GreyDay 2025 at the Talking Stick Amphitheater in Phoenix, Arizona.
