About the Author

Qwo-Li Driskill is a prominent queer and two-spirit scholar, activist, and writer whose work bridges Indigenous studies, queer theory, and decolonial praxis. As a citizen of the Cherokee Nation, Driskill draws from personal and communal experiences to explore the intersections of sexuality, sovereignty, and resistance in Native communities. Their scholarship challenges colonial narratives and amplifies marginalized voices, fostering dialogues on gender, identity, and cultural survival. With a PhD in Native American literature and a background in performance and creative writing, Driskill has taught at institutions like Oregon State University and continues to influence academic and activist circles through essays, poetry, and collaborative projects that honor Indigenous futurities.
