“Everything happens for a reason.” An artist explores meaning in the death of a finback whale, the repercussions it has on her Reservation, and how this experience manifests itself in her artwork.
Courtney M. Leonard (Shinnecock) has a MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design as well as production training through ReelNative, a part of the WGBH network. Through the PBS We Shall Remain project, Leonard created her first short film, which was first screened at the Smithsonian’s National Museum at the 14th Native American Film and Video Festival in 2009.
