The Michael Kabotie Lecture series is named after Native Arts summer faculty program collaborator, Michael Kabotie, 1942-2009, (Hopi). Michael's inquisitive and trickster spirit lives on in these compelling conversations that Michael advocated for greatly during his time at Idyllwild Arts.

Mikailah Thompson (she/her) is a dynamic Afro-Indigenous (nimîipuu) entrepreneur, artist, and advocate for Indigenous representation in the creative industry. As the owner and founder of Beadwork by Mikailah and Indigenous Creatives LLC, Mikailah merges her deep connection to her culture with her passion for creating contemporary pieces based on traditional influences. Raised on and off the reservation in Lapwai, Idaho, she’s always been drawn to the power of storytelling through art. With a background in marketing, leadership, and communication, Mikailah has built a brand that not only celebrates her cultural identity but also leverages modern marketing strategies to reach broader audiences. Through her entrepreneurial efforts, she has established herself as a leader in the growing Indigenous art space, fostering community and cultural appreciation through her platforms. Mikailah’s dedication to promoting Indigenous art and culture extends beyond her own work. She actively collaborates with other creatives to share their work, helping to break barriers and elevate Indigenous culture in mainstream spaces. This conversation will provide an opportunity to learn more about Afro-Indigeneity, the power of collaboration and cultural pride in honor of Black History Month.

This conversation will be moderated by students from the BSU and Indigenous Peoples Club.
