Dr. Blackhorse (he/they) is an active member of the global LGBT+ community, giving voice to all of those who are marginalized for identifying outside of the hetero-normative Anglo-Christian/American colonial stereotypes—with the goal of one day being granted equal liberty in our collective humanity.
Dr. Blackhorse
is a Pipe-carrier in the traditional spirituality and medicine of the Lakȟóta of South Dakota, United States of America.
As a Čhaŋnúŋpa Yuhá (American Indian Pipe-Carrier), they have spent years participating in ceremony and spiritual education with a desire to provide factual and honest information to the public. In 2021 MOSAIC™ was launched as a platform that consolidates the research and knowledge of traditional spirituality. Dr. Blackhorse has been inspired by and learned from tribal elders like Albert White Hat Sr., Sičháŋǧu Lakhóta, among other spiritual leaders.
As carriers of a two-spirited čhaŋnúŋpa, they have chosen to adhere to a spiritual calling giving a voice to other LGBT+ individuals and aspiring musicians in the community.
