Jeremy Red Eagle is an enrolled member of the Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate. He lives in the Enemy Swim District and for employment he currently oversees the Dakota Language Institute for the tribe. This position is a great honor for him.

For the past ten plus years, he has been working diligently to learn the Dakota language from various tribal elders in order to pass it and the culture on through teaching cultural activities to both young and old.

An artist steeped in the Dakota language and culture, he is a recipient of the Minnesota Historical Societies Artist in Residence for 2019/2020 and now a fellow from the First Peoples Fund as well as a recipient of various other honors.

The foundation of Jeremy’s artwork is the Dakota culture finding expression through genuine love for his people.
