Growing up in Nebraska, it took awhile for White Elk to feel a connection with their Indigenous heritage. The model says they only recently formed relationships with Indigenous elders in their community, therefore they were not introduced to certain traditional elements of their culture until their later teens. But they had always wanted to learn more. “Growing up as a Native without the guidance of an elder to pass down traditions made it difficult to be raised around traditional elements,” says White Elk. “You learn practically everything from your elders. But I overcame that hardship with the help of friends, who were there in the same tribe as mine.”

It was through White Elk’s after-school clubs in high school that they also began to really pick up traditional elements of their culture through fashion. White Elk began familiarizing themselves with Native teachers and elders in the clubs, and eventually became interested in picking up the art of beadwork specifically. “I focus on making smaller objects, like bracelets or earrings,” says White Elk. “I always look on TikTok and YouTube for Native beadwork creators, and how they create it.” This partaking in fashion design also ignited their interest in modeling. “We have seen couples proceed with intimate ceremony plans this year with the intention to host the reception at a future date when it’s safer for family and friends to come together,” Christopher Preston, Director of Catering & Events at the Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills, says.
