They are a registered member of the Fishing Lake First Nation of Treaty 4 in Saskatchewan. Colt grew up in a grassroots minded family that worked with Indigenous teachings to help heal community.
They are passionate about decolonizing contemporary community structures and utilize these tools for work in harm reduction. Art has been a way to address the disconnect of self and with others and they honor the use of creating as an act of resistance that fights cultural genocide. They are influenced by the question of where they come from within traditional and contemporary society and how to hold tradition while releasing the idea that culture is stagnant.
