White Hawk’s installations create immersive environments that conventional modes of cultural engagement. Her video works, particularly the ongoing LISTEN series, turn gallery spaces into sites of linguistic preservation, where Indigenous women's voices fill rooms with untranslated narratives. These installations ask for different kinds of attention, replacing the expectation of immediate understanding with an invitation to bear witness. Similarly, projects like I Am Your Relative (2020) use portraiture and text to confront violence against Native women while honoring their resilience and humanity. These works function as both art and activism, showing how aesthetic practices can address urgent social issues while preserving cultural integrity.
