Brandon “Wind In His Hair’ Lucei, Warm Springs, Wasco, Yakama, Umatilla, Northern Cheyenne (OR), is as shy as they come, but once he opens up, you can feel the positive vibes he gives off. Since his freshman year of high school, he’s been involved in the school’s youth leadership group. Alcohol and drugs plague his reservation and he vows to make a change in his community by rallying other Native youth to join his positive movement. One way he expresses himself is through the art of graffiti. Some people have negative perceptions of graffiti, but Brandon knows there can be positive outcomes of this expression of art and he hopes to show people that in his tribal community. He shows his Native Pride by preserving his culture, heritage, and history and is always eager to keep learning.
