Scott Strong Hawk Foster is a Native American photographer whose proud roots include Hassanamisco Nipmuc, Mohegan, and Cherokee lineage. Scott’s images reflect his travels throughout the ancestral homelands of the Native American Peoples of New England. While attending powwows, cultural events, and Indigenous practices that span millennia, Scott’s passion has become highlighting the rich, resilient, and diverse cultures and history of the Indigenous Peoples that are still here and living amongst us. Scott’s previous work experience coupled with his creative mindset now allows him to focus on working in and casting light on the people, places, and beautiful traditions of his Indigenous community.
“My ethos as an Indigenous photographer is to represent my family, and my community authentically, to record compelling images that make known the true stories of our heritage, values, and oral traditions, and to attest to how we are thriving today. This is ‘the why’ behind what I do.”
